Your example of calculating the home office deduction according to the square footage percentage was confusing.This one and previous videos stated for homeowners: only certain components of the mortgage payment can be deducted (mortgage interest, property tax (included or outside of mortgage payments), etc. --the entire mortgage payment can not be deducted. I understand that monthly rent payments can, but you gave the example of monthly rent/mortgage payments which I believe is incorrect. Although, I think it was a mistake/oversight, this is misleading. Could you please make that correction on this video if it is applicable? If I am mistaken, I apologize! Thanks!

Man, your videos and your information is awesome and appreciated. Can you explain this scenario for S-Corp? If you take a deduction of 18K/Year under a corporation, but on personal tax return it's 18K in rental income, so how is this really a tax write-off/deduction? Because it seems to me that at the end, S-Corp does NOT pay taxes, but the K1 personal statement pays for it. Is there a way to get by this? THANKS in advance.
