The federal government's in-house advocate for small businesses released a list of 10 regulations that agencies should review, including simplifying the home office business deduction. This regulatory change would benefit millions of home-based businesses, many of which now don't take the deduction because of its complexity and the fear it would trigger a tax audit. Under the proposal, the Internal Revenue Service would provide taxpayers with the option of taking a standard deduction if they use part of their home exclusively for business.
