Owners of partnership interests can deduct home office expenses on their individual Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. If the expense is of the type the partner is expected to pay without reimbursement, the partner can deduct the expense on Schedule E, Supplemental Income and Loss, as "unreimbursed partner expense" (UPE).
