Example Case
1) In the case of Soliman, the respondent, Nader E. Soliman, an anesthesiologist, spent approximately thirty to thirty-five hours per week in different hospitals administering anaesthetising and caring for his patients. Due to the hospital's failure to provide an office for Soliman, he turned his spare bedroom in his home into an office, where he spent about ten to fifteen hours per week performing various administrative tasks related to his profession. In his 1983 federal income tax return, Soliman deducted expenses attributable to his home-office.

The head of the state tax office did not allow Solimen to deduct home office expenses. The commissioner judged that Soliman did not accord with the requirement of 280A, because the home office is not the primary place of business for Soliman. The United States Supreme Court overturned the commissioner's ruling and agreed that Soliman's home-office was his principal place of business, so the deduction should be allowed.
