I'm trying to figure out a way to structure this. Our financial situation improved, and thank god we can hire back the servants in 2011!! (haha)...
My situation: I work from home 100%, as my day job requires it. I also run my 2 corporations out of my home. I have 2 home offices here (One for me, one for the wife).
I am hiring back the cleaning lady to come every other week at $100 a pop. That's $2600 per year. Can I deduct some or all of her fee? I was thinking about just paying her directly from one of my corporations via check, but was concerned that not 100% of her fee may be deductable even this way.... I plan on giving her a 1099 at the end of the year, as she is an independent contractor who comes with her own tools, cleaning supplies, etc...
My new CPA is kind of an idiot, so I don't dare ask him. Currently looking for somebody else, but in the meantime thought I'd open it up to the forum!
Thoughts? Ideas?
