May wanna ask some Minnesota boys about claiming to live somewhere vs where they really lived
Don't know if they got jail time (no memory anymore) but I think the ones in Hennipan County got tagged with a felony.
I've always been talked out of claiming commuter hotels. I was told its a grey area. It wouldn't flag an audit but I would probably lose it in an audit if I got tagged for something else. The CPA who told me that did lots of pilots when I lived in Dallas.

You can call the IRS, but I don't think you can email them. I suppose that's so they can't be held to one advisor's interpretation of the rule. It would be nice to actually have something chiseled in stone (or email) from them.

Now your starting to sound like Johnso. "If you don't like it just go away." You obviously didn't see the smiley. Simmer down El Capitan.

Say, didn't I read something once about Delta's values-driven culture?
