Write Off the Boat as an Office?

Hmmmm, nice idea!

We’ve been asking in one of our surveys, how CPAs manage the new work-on-the-go lifestyle with 24/7 connectedness.

Smart phones are changing the way we work. Maybe we should also be re-thinking how we think of our offices.

For instance, asked how his work away from the office experience could be improved, Kirk Glenn, a CPA in Hilton Head, S.C., suggests (tongue-in-cheekly, we assume) that the IRS let him write off his boat as a second office.

Kirk, when you figure it out, let us know. We have a hammock we’d like to write off.

    Hey, does that mean I can deduct my Jacuzzi? I think not! But if you want to try, let me know what the IRS says.

    If the boat is used exclusively as the sole primary office space then it can be treated as other real property office space.
