Home office deductions for 1065 Returns

[parvitstax]

If one partner in a partnership return has a home office how would that be claimed/reported as a deduction?

Needs to be spelled out in the partnership agreement to deduct out of pocket expenses. But I'm not a lawyer and can't give out legal advice. So ignore what I said above.

Does the Partnership Agreement require the Partner to pay for such an expense?

If so, click the green "Where Do I Enter?" button and type "Sup" and open the Supplemental Expenses Worksheet.

You can fill manually fill out a Form 8829 (or create a temporary Schedule C to have the program help you with it) to determine what the Home Office deduction is, then enter that as an expense on the Supplemental Expense worksheet.

That's a great way to do it. Use schedule C to get the allowable value! Thanks.
