Does anybody have any suggestions for a place to buy good quality office furniture. i am seeting up a home office and would like a nice fairly modern executive desk. Not interested in Ikea or modular stuff.

Most furniture stores in FFX have one of two desks and that's it. I am hoping to find somewhere with a good selection of desks.

Thanks

office max, staples, etc

Take a yellow post it and go to local banks. When you see a desk you like write your name on the post it and put it on the desk.

If anybody asks just tell them you have first dibbs on this desk.

lmao

"...and would like a nice fairly modern executive desk."

If it is for a home office, then why all of the pomp? Why not a stack of cinderblocks and a sheet of plywood? What's next, sending your kids out to fetch you overpriced espresso drinks?

I hope you have a business license and are paying taxes on this venture.

How do you seet up an office?

You don't need a "business license".

Think again. I used to work for the Zoning Department at Fairfax as an inspector. If you are working out of your home and collecting income, you have to have a business license. The Commissioner of Revenue would always send people over to the Zoning office to verify that whatever a person was proposing to do was within the limits of the zoning district where they lived.

Also from the EDA;s website above:

I am interested in running a home-based business in Fairfax County. How do I go about getting licensed?
In addition to obtaining a BPOL license, businesses located at residential addresses must obtain a Home Occupation Permit or Non-Residential Use Permit from the Zoning Permit Review Branch of the Fairfax County Department of Planning and Zoning, Zoning Administration Division. Permits are issued after certain zoning requirements are met. For further information, contact the Zoning Permit Review Branch at 12055 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 22035, or telephone 703-222-1082

Nah, people who have home businesses use them to right off everything on taxes. Buy a car you sometimes use for work? Deduction. New computer? You use it for work too, so that's a deduction. Home theater? Invite someone over once a year to do a sales presentation. That's a deduction. Playing grabass or fighting in the building? That's a night in the box.

And be sure to make time in your busy schedule for your audit. Home office deductions draw Internal Revenue agents like moths to a flame.

I am not interested in home based business legal advice (I don't operate a home business), just looking for a good furntire store where i can buy a desk. Thanks

I have a set from Pottery Barn. Pricey, but I like it.

You are gonna love all the taxes too. Gross revenue, equipment tax (yes they tax your computer, phone, printer, chair, desk etc...)

Technically you are supposed to, but I imagine most home-based businesses don't get them.

They do. That's why you keep your head down low and don't let the local city or county know you are running a business out of your home.

If it is any consolation, the local jurisdiction can only hit you for three years' worth of taxes, should you go without paying. You should get a good tax attorney who can show you how to reduce what you might owe.

I am in possession of enough wood from the 300+ year old tree on Main St in Fairfax that succumb to a storm recently. I will build you a desk from this wood if you commission my services.

Like a custom home or yacht, the price will be exhorbitant (per J. P. Morgan, "if you have to ask..."), but your satisfaction will be guaranteed.

The "home Office" deduction is not worth it. I am not a tax expert, but I have heard it does trigger a "second glance" at your tax return. Plus, if you sell your house and there have been home office deductions in the past, it gets "complicated".


Maybe it has changed the past few years, but I doubt it.

It gets complicated if you claim it as part of your mortgage deduction. Don't do that. Just take 1/10th of your utilities, etc, and you won't have any problems.

Ummm, fuckface, did you not notice that I QUOTED somebody else?

That means I wasn't talking to you OR giving you unsolicicted tax advice.

Sorry, but you're too dumb to own a nice desk...
