---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Jon, I would like to expand on this a bit. My understanding regarding your "flat rate" is that this is acceptable with the IRS, provided you can produce your calculations that would show these percentages are reasonable, if they ever ask to see them. And certainly the percentages will vary from person to person. One word of caution for everyone: do not assume that if a deduction is not challenged by the IRS, that it therefore would be accepted if you were audited. There is no doubt in my mind that a considerable percentage of citizens get away with tax fraud year after year and never get caught.
