Only 3 more week's until April 15th...yikes!

Only 3 week's to go until Uncle Sam want's you!!! Well rather your money! 

I have a pile of paperwork on my table to go through and I haven't even started.  I don't usually procrastinate, but this year, I can hardly bring myself to sit down and do my taxes.

I wonder how much I can deduct.

1. Can I deduct my home office?

2. Can I deduct my mileage or is it better to deduct the cost of the gas, or both?

3. Can I deduct my electric bill?- I work from home 95% of the time.

4. Can I deduct my phone bill?..I mean the cell phone bill? It is hooked permanently to my ear!

5. Of course, the paper supplies, the printer cartridges, pen and folders?

6. What is the best approach to filing taxes as this is the first year that I am filing taxes as a full time REALTOR(R)?

I know an accountant would be useful here (my daughter is one albeit in another state) however, I would like some TIPS AS HOW TO ORGANIZE THE INFORMATION prior to GOING TO THE ACCOUNTANT.

Many of you seasoned REALTORS(R) have to remember the first time you filed...please give me your best advice!

Thank you in advance!
