Remove the yew transplant from the container and loosen the roots around the edges so they spread more easily after planting. If the roots are wrapped tightly around the soil ball, indicating that the plant is root bound, cut into the bottom of the root ball, dividing it in fourths, to loosen the roots.. Use a home testing kit to determine the soil pH level. Yews grow best in slightly acid, neutral or slightly alkaline soil, with a pH level between 5.5 and 7.5.
Typically, real estate agents may deduct advertising costs, professional and licensing fees, educational costs, a portion of the expenses associated with the business use of their homes and any automobile expenses associated with business use.
If you use the actual-expenses method, you can deduct direct expenses â such as painting or repairs solely in the home office â in full. Indirect expenses â mortgage interest, insurance, home utilities, real estate taxes, general home repairs â are deductible based on the percentage of your home used for business. Example: Letâs say you paid $3,000 in mortgage interest, $1,000 in insurance premiums and $3,000 in utilities (all indirect expenses) plus $500 on a home office paint job (direct expense) in the 2016 tax year.
