After Bill and Mercedes' tax return was selected for audit, Bill read on the Internet speculation that filing a paper tax return (instead of filing electronically) and extending a tax return deadline decrease the chance of IRS audit. Bill has convinced Mercedes that they need to use these strategies in the future and look for other ways to avoid audit. Questions for discussion include: 1.

But see Schedule C [previously posted in eLearning], line 30. And search irs.gov for Form 8829 if you care to see the traditional method for computing the deduction.
