Question Tax Return Claim

Hi

How many of you are currently filing your returns and have employed an accountant. I am not sure yet what to do as we have been in the country 5 months and I have a full time job and about to make my return on line. (Hubby is enjoying his liesure time for the moment , lol )

I work for a company and have to travel regulary, but these trips are all paid for, what I am wondering is can I claim for home electric, etc as I work from home a couple of days a week (IT based work) and also possible clothing/ laundry as my job requires me to look presentable.

Any suggestions for all you financially astute people out there ???

My advice for you would be to use a Tax Agent this time, cost about $65-$85, and then do it yourself next year, when you have a better idea what you can claim.

Where are you living. Then people might be able to recommend a local one
