This is based off another question I read here (but dated a year ago) where someone asked about renting a room in someone else's house for his own business. An 'Expert' here responded that yes he could do this and then proceeded to respond as if the Poster was asking about home office deductions.
So my question pertains to Me renting a room in My house to My business which is an LLC. (technically a home based business). My understanding is the IRS does not recognize this as a separate entity since the LLC is the person, and the person is the LLC (pass through). Which means I would have to take the home office deduction, but cannot actually rent a room to my business and deduct the rental fee (for example if my business pays me personally $350 per month for the room). I'm looking for the situation similar to when I had an office outside of my home, with a lease agreement, and paying monthly for a co-working space. Doing this allowed me to deduct the office fee.
