Office Deductions
by:
Rachel GoldsteinHome
office deductions are one of the perks of
working from home, however, there are
clear drawbacks too. If you meet the IRS
guidelines for deducting your home office,
you can expect to get a hefty tax break.
On the other hand, deducting your home
office can increase your chances of
getting audited. Additionally, by claiming
your home office you can get taxed when
selling your home. This article will cover
the ins and outs of home office
deductions.

IRS GUIDELINES
Is your home office your "principal
place of business"? Is your office
used "regularly and exclusively"
for business? All of the above questions
must be answered with a "yes" if
you want to meet IRS guidelines for
deducting your home office.
"PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS" -
How do you know if your office can be
determined as your principal place of
business? Well, do you spend most of your
time and make the most of your money from
your home office? If you work onsite at a
client's office the majority of the time,
then you probably aren't eligible. On the
other hand, if you perform all of your
daily tasks from your home office, you
probably are eligible. However, if you are
offsite a majority of the day, but come
home and perform substantially
administrative activities from your home
office, you may still be eligible. You
cannot perform these administrative
activities anywhere else but from your
home office.

"REGULARLY AND EXCLUSIVELY" -
You must use your home office regularly
and exclusively. Your office doesn't need
to be a separate room, but it does need to
be used "regularly and
exclusively" for business. This means
that you need to keep all family
activities and items away from your
office. Keep your children off of your
computer and your personal mail off of
your desk, amongst other things.
Additionally, if you have more than one
business, you cannot use your home office
for your other business. For example, if
you are a salaried web designer, you
cannot work on projects from your salaried
job in your home office.
You have decided that you are eligible for
a home office deduction. Now what? I would
contact an accountant and make sure that
you have made the right decision. Then:
a. Measure square footage of your entire
home
b. Measure square footage of your home
office
c. Divide office's square footage by your
home office's square footage

d. This number is your percentage….Apply
this percentage to indirect expenses, like
your mortgage taxes, utility bills, real
estate taxes, and upkeep. So, you can
deduct a percentage of home-related
expenses based on the percentage of space
in your home that your home office takes
up. So if your house is 5,000 square feet
and your office is 500 square feet, you
can deduct 10% off indirect expenses and
home cost. Don't worry, direct expenses
are still deducted in full. For example,
don't use the percentage on things such as
a business phone line.
e. Find out home purchase price and add to
that all home improvements
f. Find out the value of land
g. Find out the market value of your home.
REASONS HOME OFFICE DEDUCTIONS ARE
SOMETIMES NOT WISE TO TAKE
Yes, taking a home office deduction sounds
like a great idea, but remember there is a
downside too. If you deduct your home
office, your office may be considered
business property. This means that you
will need to pay taxes on the amount the
business depreciated when you sell your
house. Because of this, a home office
deduction might not be profitable for you.
You might save a few hundred dollars every
year with the home office deduction, but
have to pay thousands of dollars when you
sell the house. Because of this, I
recommend visiting a tax accountant before
deducting a home office.
Another reason not to take the home office
deduction is because the IRS might decide
to audit your business when they see your
home office deduction. Taking this
deduction is like throwing a red flag in
front of the IRS, so it is up to you
whether you want to take the risk and
deduct your home office.
