I also believe that from what I have seen in the Fifth District of Texas, that many of the people who are at home, who are operating these home businesses, are women, women who are trying to not only make a go of it with their marriage and family and children and the needs that come upon the business, but they are upstart women who have the ability to get out and to compete in the marketplace. I think this home office deduction really finds that the people that are discriminated against most are women, women trying to do these type of things. I believe that H.R. 1145 will offer us a clear definition, one that the IRS cannot only understand but also that these taxpayers and these people who wish to make a go of it can have and avoid the IRS coming on them.
