I know that the IRS allows you to write off the section of your home used in business but I was thinking of a reversal of that and was wondering if this was legal.
Buy/rent a home or apartment in the business's name and because your the owner/ceo/member have it in the employment agreement or benefits package that the business will locate you a place to life (you could pay rent to the business). The business will still be in one room and you live in the rest of the house but becuase the business owns the home, it pays the taxes and other expenses required to maintain the area and you just pay your rent. It gets the expenses and can write them off while your home is being maintained with pretax dollars.
So the question I have is, Would this be legal and if so, what do you think of the idea.
Keep in mind it was just an idea and I know nothing about this area.
