As a contractor, I assume I can get credit terms, but will I also receive an additional discount off retail price? How about access to items that consumers wouldn't normally get? I have accounts through wholesalers now and was wondering what advantages there are at these stores?
Also, what is the typical discount I would receive with a contractor account?

Out of 20 business days a month while working as a 1099 contractor, if I worked more than half of those days at my home or home office, would my "tax home" thus be considered my home office? At what point does the IRS consider your actual home to be your "tax home?" Must you work more than 50% of the time from your home?

Thanks!
