I Really Don’t Like People Looking Over My Shoulder
I suppose taking and then carefully annotating a picture of your home office doesn’t give the impression that you’re using it very productively just at the moment, does it? Well, okay, it’s true. I’m waiting for some manuscript to come in on one project and for some guidelines to come in on another, so I don’t technically have to do anything right now. I could read some of my book. I could make myself a piece of toast with cottage cheese. I could go outside and dance around in what my weather widget claims is the 70-degree sunshine, which I am tempted to believe even though it is freezing in my apartment (Why are apartments always colder in spring than in winter? Sigh.).
But no. Instead I did some things for Utata and made this picture.

As it is used to make an income, (in your case) is the cost of the chair tax deductible?

I’m not going to deduct the entire cost of the chair, because I do sit at my desk to write letters and pay bills and do other personal things (the IRS is very strict about things being 100% business expenses). I’ll probably deduct about 80% of it, though.
At first I was appalled by how much it was, but it’s really making a huge difference to my comfort, and I sit here pretty much the entire day. Plus, since we moved I’ve gotten much less inclined to make random small purchases that I don’t need, so I don’t mind investing once in a while in bigger things that are really worth something to me.
And now I’ll stop justifying it. I deserve a good chair.

I agree.
