I will repeat my sincere advice, though: since it's not what the instructions tell you to do, make sure you can document it.  Get something in writing and keep it in your file.  In my opinion the following will not count as documentation: (1)  "I spoke to someone in the tax office and they said it would be OK." (2)  "Somebody on the internet said his tax inspector said so."    Report
