I have a small business on my home property and want to deduct my mortgage interest on Schedule C, Form 1040. If I have a business loss, does this change the amount of mortgage interest I can deduct? Additionally, if an accountant incorrectly filed my taxes without using Form 8829, does this increase the likelihood of an audit, and can the IRS retroactively correct and charge for previous years' filings?

I didn't report income and now got an overpayment letter. I had filed for bankruptcy during the time they want me to pay back income. Will this be enough for them to rescind the overpayment demand? What are the penalties for overpayment? I don't work two months out of the summer and just ask for food stamps during that time. Then they send me letters saying I'm in a special group that gets their aid automatically extended. How am I at fault?
