Home Office Deduction

There are strict requirements you must meet in order to qualify for the home office deduction. You are entitled to the home office deduction if you:

  • Are in business,
  • Use your home office exclusively for business, and
  • Use your home office for business on a regular basis.

These are the three threshold requirements.

Then you must also meet any one of the following requirements:

  • Your home office is your principal place of business.
  • You regularly and exclusively use you home office for administrative or management activities, and have no other fixed location where you perform such activities.
  • You meet clients or customers at home.
  • You use a separate structure on your property.
  • You store inventory or product samples at home.

The IRS does not require you to physically separate the space you use for business from the rest of the room or living space.

Any IRS auditor may not enter your home unless you or another lawful occupant gives them permission.
