"If you’re not deducting that part of your home, utilities, vehicles, electronics, tools, and equipment that you use for various business purposes, you’re doing something very wrong."

Ok, but why should it have to be for business purposes to be deductible? Why does a landlord get to deduct the same exact expenses a private homeowner cannot?

    I haven't addressed that issue. I've addressed the fairness issue. If you can present your expenses as business expenses, you should. If the only reason you can't is because you aren't presenting yourself as a business, present yourself as a business and take the deductions.
