II you can show that It is nee
essary for you to work at home
as part of earning your income
from a business, profession, or
job, you may be able to deduct a
portion Of your household ex-
penses as business expenses.
1t may be that you use a room
as an office. You have equipped it
with desk, couple Of chairs or
other materials for performing
your work. You can deduct a
portion of the following expenses
as legitimate bushes expendi.
lures; depreciation Of your home,
heat, light, insurance and so on.
You can also deduct any portion
of your telephone bill applicable
to your business affairs.
II you happen to be renting
your home from someone else,
you cannot deduct an amount
for the depreciation Of a Dor.
ton of the house, but you can
claim share of the rent you pay
as a deduction.
Some of the expenses for your
home office are fully deductible.
These are expenses that relate
exclusively to your business,
such as supplies, postage, depre-
citation Of your Office furniture,
and so on.
Whether you are renting your
home or using part of it as an
office, remember to keep records
of as many of your expenses as

Assume that you own an eight
room house. Since you only need
six rooms, you decide to rent the
other two rooms as furnished
apartment. You will now have
two kinds of deductible expenses,
those expenses that apply to the
house as a unit, and those ex.
penses that apply particularly to
the apartment.
AS a home owner, you can
deduct any property taxes you
may have to pay. You can also
deduct the interest on a mort.
gage. This is true whether you
rent part of the house or not, but
there are some additional de-
auctions you can take from the
rent you receive for the two
rooms. You can deduct such
items as insurance, repairs, COL
lection fees, depreciation, and
brokerage commissions. But re-
member, these deductible ex-
penses must apply directly to the
two rooms you are renting. In
other words, if you make repairs
to the whole house you can only
deduct from rent income the cost
of repairs applicable to the two
rooms being rented.
If you supply any utilities such
as gas or electricity to your
tenant without making a sepa-
rate charge. you can deduct a
portion Of the amount you pay
for these utilities from the rent
You receive.
Income from renting all or a
part of your home should be re.
ported in Schedule G of Form
1040. However, If you perform
any substantial services for your
tenant, then the rent becomes
business income and should be
reported on Schedule c. For
example, you may be supplying
hotel-type services such as break.
fast, laundry or cleaning. II such
is the case, then you are actually
receiving payment for the use Of
both your property and your ser.
vices. In effect, you are in the
hotel business and must report
your income as business income.

host to neighboring Harding of
Posen in another exciting bes-
ketball twin bill.
Kellar lost the junior contest
as Braden of Posen put on a
dazzling drive and shooting ex-

80 % victory. Kellar played an
inspired game as Arnwood,
Adams and Williams scored g.,
8, and 4 points respectively, but
could not overcome the preci-
sion-like play of the Harding

Obviously, to use the cur
rent phrase, this was the soft
sell. Mr.. Folger was simply
exposing his candidate to a
group of citizens. any one of
whom could easily afford to
finance the whole campaign.
In reply to a toast at the end
of dinner, the Vice President
also made no mention of
anything so vulgar as reach
ing for the biggest spot and
the wherewithall to do it.
Instead he paid tribute to his
host, and complimented all
the women at the dinner. All
the men present, he said, were
high up in business, politics,
ETC., but their wives were just
as responsible as the men for
their success.
He also said that he was
talking to the President the

said, "You know, Dick, we go
