Business Use of Your Home<\/em>, is available to homeowners and renters.<\/li>\n<li>There are certain expenses taxpayers can deduct. These may include mortgage interest, insurance, utilities, repairs, maintenance, depreciation and rent.<\/li>\n<li>Taxpayers must meet specific requirements to claim home expenses as a deduction. Even then, the deductible amount of these types of expenses may be limited.<\/li>\n<li>The term &#8220;home&#8221; for purposes of this deduction includes a house, apartment, condominium, mobile home, boat, or similar property. It also\u00a0includes structures on the property, including an unattached garage, studio, barn, or greenhouse. However, it does not\u00a0include any part of the taxpayer&#8217;s property used exclusively as a hotel, motel, inn, or similar business.<\/li>\n<li>Generally, there are two basic requirements for the taxpayer&#8217;s home to qualify as a deduction:\n<ol>\n<li>There generally must be exclusive use of a portion of the home for conducting business on a regular basis. For example, a taxpayer who uses an extra room to run their business can take a home office deduction only for that extra room so long as it is used regularly and exclusively in the business.<\/li>\n<li>The home must generally be the taxpayer&#8217;s principal place of business. A taxpayer can also meet this requirement if administrative or management activities are conducted at the home, and there is no other location to perform these duties. Therefore, someone who conducts business outside of their home, but also uses their home to conduct business, may still qualify for a home office deduction.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Expenses that relate to a separate structure not attached to the home may qualify for a home office deduction. They will qualify only if the structure is used exclusively and regularly for business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taxpayers who qualify may choose one of two methods to calculate their home office expense deduction:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/home-office-deduction-benefits-small-business-owners\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">simplified option<\/a>\u00a0has a rate of $5 a square foot for business use of the home. The maximum size for this option is 300 square feet. The maximum deduction under this method is $1,500.<\/li>\n<li>When using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/home-office-deduction\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\" target=\"_blank\">regular method<\/a>, deductions for a home office are based on the percentage of the home devoted to business use. Taxpayers who use a whole room or part of a room for conducting their business need to figure out the percentage of the home used for business activities to deduct indirect expenses. Direct expenses are deducted in full.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out the Intuit\u00ae Tax Pro Center&#8217;s collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants.intuit.com\/taxprocenter\/tag\/irs\/\"title=\"\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"false noopener\">IRS-related articles<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get up to speed on the IRS&#8217; rules for the home office deduction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104275893,"featured_media":24878,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rkv_browse_by_id":0,"rkv_cta_id":0,"rkv_optimize_for_pagespeed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"useModifiedDate":false,"customPublishDate":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[509474089],"tags":[7649,10585],"intuit_collection":[],"intuit_series":[],"coauthors":[509474241],"class_list":["post-24870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tax-law-and-news","tag-irs","tag-small-business"],"header_image":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
