One more for you...
If you have a client who provides services (and would fall under the services limit) and who also sells goods...would there be any benefit to separate those activities for the 199?
For example, an interior designer who sells her skills and resells goods she buys...She is over the income limit so she is excluded from the deduction for her trade but what (if any) can we grab for the deduction if she has W2 wages for her helpers who assist in the sale of goods?
