Tax-Time Tips for At-Home Workers
March 10, 2009, CNN.com

Tax season is here and with President Obama's stimulus package approved, many Americans who work at home are wondering, "What's in it for me?"

Despite the fact that there are no tax changes in the plan specifically targeted for people who work at home, there are some benefits aimed to help small businesses.

"Although it doesn't save home workers any tax dollars, the stimulus package does include incentives to expand broadband Internet access to underserved areas, which may allow more people to work from home," said Kathleen Pakenham, a tax partner at White& Case in New York. "The incentives include grants and loans to local governments and nonprofit groups that are designed to improve broadband Internet access and service."
