You can claim a percentage of your utilities as a regular MT. You don't have to be IC.

I'm not claiming at all that my situation

is a permanent one. I know now more than ever before that it all could change overnight. If it does, I'll start looking all over again. I'm just trying to encourage others to keep searching if they are unhappy and to be willing to compromise on some things. If I hadn't compromised on my schedule, I wouldn't have been hired. I think it was a wise decision on my part, and I have made it work for me.

I want to pay less for my utilities
But utility companies won't take my costs down. Same for my groceries, and other things. I too do not believe the MTSO is getting less from hospitals. Never see any proof of that. MTSOs could explain that they need to pay their employees and cannot lower their wages. If they do agree to do it for less, they are bargaining with MT pay, not for their own. I do not see any of these hospitals lowering what they charge. How much for a Tylenol in a hospital? MTs only want a fair wage, which many are no longer getting. I also do not understand MTSOs loving India more than they love their own country, very disloyal.

how much of your utilities have you been able to claim?
My tax advisor told me I could only claim the amount of utilities that equaled my office space. For example, my office space I claim is 20% of my house, so I could only claim 20% of my utilities. Anyone else have this experience? Anything I can do differently as an IC? I do deduct the total expense of internet and phone since I am required to have these for work...
