I'm not a an accountant and you should verify this--but what I rmemeber being told is if you don't take the deduction the eyar before you plan to sell, you should be OK.

Hi fellow work-at-homeers, Is there a down-side to claiming a home office space as a tax deduction? Specifically wondering how it affects the value of our home over time? our accountant has suggested that it's not always a good idea... but we can't figure out her reasoning & she'll charge us more for giving us a clearer answer... any info would be greatly appreciated.
