here's what my accountant includes on my expenses:

10% of mortgage, utilities, trash (my "office" in the guest room is 10% of the total square footage of the house).

Also 100% of cell phone bills, internet, computer (with depreciation), PDA, newspaper and magazine subscriptions, athletic equipment, gym memberships (need to stay in shape!).

Some other areas to consider: Dry cleaning (that's how we all keep our uniforms looking sharp, right?), haircuts, personal grooming items, and yes...cable tv!

Just make sure you net a profit after all is said and done, even if it's $10.
Oh man, you have one aggressive accountant. Life's too short, paying taxes is a consequence of making money.
