I am self employed and have a home office. In 2019, a tree fall damaged my home and i spent all of 2020 in a rental property, covered by my home insurance. I am still making mortgage payments on my home. Can I still deduct my home office?

You will be deducting the qualified home office that you used in the temporary rental property, not the one in your home that was unoccupied.
Yes, but you will have to enter all new information about the location, the square footage and the fact that you pay rent.
Thanks, but are you saying that I should deduct the office in the temporary rental property, or the office that is in my own house (that was unoccupied because of the tree damage)?
