Red flag! Red flag! But the very fact that we have an office in the home and are independent performers, we're already flagged...but it may be the straw. They would probably make you depreciate it over a number of years and you would probably have to keep a log as to percentage of time used for work...and what tax person would know what Vietnam water puppets are anyway. A squeaky toy comes to mind...Nancy

What do you think?
