My landlord hasn't given me squat in the 3 years that i've been there. I should perhaps talk to him on it. No, i'm not a legit business with a established name, phone, yellow page entry, etc... But i am in a signed lease though. Matt, can you file 100% of your rent as credit?

TalonTSI- I'll PM you when i get a chance. I'm at work. I'll just PM you later after hours. It's Not like i'm efiling right away.

This all came about when a buddy of mine told me about what he does. Different case.... He owns a house and rents the upstairs. He writes off just about everything he can provide a receipt for. Even if it's repairs on his own house part and not just the upstairs. Tools, gas here and there, computer(because he said he needs it to keep track of renter), and probably about 5+ other things. Pisses me off. He gets back like $1,200 a year. I end up paying on the average about $300-500 to federal every year. I'd like to do the itemized deduction but i just don't know if i'd have enough shit to write off. I'd almost have to be able to write off a pretty dam good chunk of the rent to be able to do it.

I pretty well get robbed once a year on April 15th.

Thanks.
