Home Office

Home office

• Where the space is, and that it is used regularly and exclusively for business
• Square footage of the space and of the home
• Direct expenses versus whole-home expenses
• Rent, mortgage interest, taxes, utilities, and insurance split only after the percentage is known
• Daycare or storage exceptions only if the user states those facts
• Simplified method versus actual — the CPA chooses

Do not compute a deduction from a keyword hit on rent or internet.
