Home office expense
|
| Deductions: Home office
expense: Investors v. traders.-- The taxpayers’ investment activities did not constitute a trade or business and they were not entitled to deduct the related expenses of their home offices. The taxpayers who managed their own extensive investments were investors and not traders because, although their investment activities were regular, extensive, and continuous, they were primarily interested in the long-term growth potential of their stocks, made few trades, and did not derive any significant profit from short-term trading.
