I'll ask H about the dedicated home office w/my 1099 situation vs. as a d/b/a, as he has a dedicated home office, as well (w/a d/b/a), and he handles the tax stuff! Our tax guy may be calling me this am, as well. If so, I'll ask him directly.
One thing that sticks out in my mind re: dedicated home office and taxes, is that it really amounts to pennies saved, in relation to time invested to figure out how much you're saving.
Another thing that sticks out is having to make sure you're not "covering" your home office, services required to run it, ancillary tools, etc... on invoices for the services you're providing. (Seems obvious, but the cross over at one point was more effort to figure out than worth.)
Also, I think (in IL) it cost us a little over $5k to set-up the d/b/a.
More to come as I think of it...
Not sure how I'd get the stuff to you, but I have all of the "templates" I wrote about earlier... No need to recreate the wheel! Just change the names and logos (if appropriate)!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
