I would be real wary about deducting home office shit. In my not so humble opinion the audit red flag is a waaaay bigger consideration than any monetary gain.
At the office though? Deduct away if you're self employed (partner) I guess. If you're not, just eat it.

I know, right? I actually would be more worried about being able to hide under my desk in case a disgruntled patient or employee went postal. Is that even a term anymore? When was the last time someone officially went postal at the post office? That term is outdated and offensive. The correct term is now "second amendment right protecting". "Going elementary school" is also acceptable.

If you wanted to touch a hot button let HR know you may have WC claim regarding your work station. Your ergonomics specialist will also be suffering from acute Ass pain when they get done with him.
Probably easier just to shell out the grand.

The correct course of action is actually much simpler than that provided your company is large enough to qualify for FMLA. If you haven't already go to your physician to get an official diagnosis. Have your doctor write a note saying you cannot sit for more than four hours in a day. Present it to your boss and tell him without a new desk you will be have to go home at lunch every day. They cant fire you for using FML and they wood be opening themselves for huge litigation if they don't comply.
Expect your new desk within a week.

Show your boss your tits and say "Buy me this fucking desk, dickwad. Maybe then I'll let you sit on my lap and slap your face with my tittays"

Go ahead and roll the dice and deduct it. The chances of you being audited by the IRS are very small.

After several years of doing the pre tax Childcare deduction thing, my husband forgot to sign up for that one year. So at the end of that year we claimed a child care tax credit or some shit like that. Then we signed up for the pretax deduction thing again. About two years after that they hit us with some fine saying we were double dipping or some crap and we had to get out our records to prove that we did not sign up that year for the pre tax exemption. Assholes. They'll audit the little guys before the big guys.
