		<title>There is no Place Like Home (or is There?)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever said something like &#8220;I can&#8217;t wait to go home?&#8221;  If so, you probably don&#8217;t know what the term &#8220;home&#8221; means.
What does the term &#8220;home&#8221; mean?  According to the IRS, the term &#8220;home&#8221; means the taxpayer&#8217;s &#8220;principal place of business.&#8221;  I am guessing that very few (if any) taxpayers would define the term [...]]]></description>

		<title>Court Says No Fraud, So IRS Finds Friendlier Court</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Say you are convicted of a tax crime and the criminal judge finds that your conduct has not risen to the level of tax fraud.
