Can we talk about this one deduction I almost missed?
I was at a coffee shop in Austin last month and overheard a guy talking about deducting his home internet bill as a percentage. That got me looking into my own setup and I realized I never claimed a portion of my rent for my home office space. Turns out I can write off 15% of my utilities too because I use that room 40 hours a week. Anyone else forget to claim space costs and find a surprise refund at the end of the year?

Yeah, totally missed that myself last year and it ended up being a nice little refund surprise.

Buddy of mine told me a similar story, @the_cameron. He missed some small tax credit for three years and then stumbled on it when filing last spring. Ended up with a refund that more than paid for his whole family's vacation.
