Watch those income tax deductions warned by IRS agents
IRS agents in Eau Claire warn farmers against common red flag deductions such as a farm watchdog, a swimming pool, or a home basement claimed as storage for farm use. Jack Deiss, IRS agent in charge, says these deductions have appeared on returns in west central Wisconsin and invite closer scrutiny by auditors.

Winter’s Arctic Bite Brings Record Winds to Wisconsin
West central Wisconsin endured an extreme cold spell with wind chills near 81 below in Eau Claire and 100 below in Barron County and Rice Lake as a jet stream pattern pulled frigid Arctic air into the Midwest. Winds averaged 40 mph, gusts to 80 mph, causing roofs to be ripped off near Lake Superior and in the Red River Valley. Highest wind chills hit about 102 below zero in the Red River Valley and near Duluth. Meteorologist John Graff explained the event as a rare five year occurrence, driven by a blocking ridge over the West and a large arctic air mass. The piece also covers tax filing reminders and questionable farm deductions like pools and barns, noting restrictions on home office deductions and other improper claims.
