Hi Jim:

    All excellent points, Thanks so much for the information! I love to
    find new things to deduct. Ididn't think of the cell phone option and
    I studied accounting in college. You can always learn new things. 

    The mail box, I think, is also another great idea and better than
    the p.o. box because you can receive packages. 

    On fear, it was a bit irresponsible of me to spread my phobia
    around. I am a bit different than the average guy in this area and I
    try not to let it affect other people. My apologies for letting that
    into the forum. I am not the best to give advice on personal safety!
    I hope to move past it someday. 

    One other deduction to note: I am going to keep a travel log in the
    coming year. Every time I drive to meet a customer, drive to teach,
    drive to get supplies etc...it is deductible. 37 cents a mile can
    add up to quite a bit at the end of the year and, besides, why give
    them any more than they already take. Even if something is a two cent
    deduction, I will deduct just based on principle. 

Thanks Again
