Hello everyone. 

I’ve came here today in hopes of getting a few questions answered.

Does anyone know of a good free public forum where I can get help when I have a question about my taxes? I’m looking for the kind of place that is there to want to help me learn, not tell me to hire a professional! I am fully confident in myself doing my own papers if I can just get a question answered once in a while when the answer isn’t easily found to make sure I do it correctly.

In the hopes someone here also fully manages their own taxes, I’ll ask here too.

Where does a landlord who is also the repair man file their mileage and the home office deduction?  

You would think that would be an easy to find answer. Unfortunately it just points to thousands of articles telling you that you can take those deductions, just not a single one mentions where exactly. I have  searched and searched, and the answer I came up with, I have now been told is wrong by a “tax professional”. 

Anyone else here do your own taxes and deduct for mileage? I could sure use some insight on how to log this properly.

If bp isn’t a great place to ask this, I apologize, but I don’t know where else to go.

thanks all.

why post if the content is useless? I’d rather it just stay un replied to.. How about just move along and let someone who knows chime in.

I’m not here for your opinions thanks

I’m looking for black and white answers, if you don’t know than why post? It’s not helpful and definitely not appreciated
