depreciating home office. do I put entire amounts of real estate taxes and mortgage in indirect expenses?

MarlaE · ‎07-04-2020

TP lives in California. On their sch A they are only allowed to take $10,000 (of the $18,567 )deduction.

When depreciating their home office, I don't think I can put the entire amounts of real estate and mortgage as indirect expenses.

Can someone clarify this please?

Thank you

Dear George,

I am a tax professional with a question.

If you enter the home office expenses on the 8829 the software should do the work. You didn't mention which software you are using.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
