Carl, thanks for the reply. I was originally under the impression that one could claim for the home office deduction even though my house is not my primary place of business. But, this does not seem to be accurate. Although, it is the only place where I prep for lessons and I spend more time on lesson prep at home than at any single client. In addition, I do private online tutoring 1x/week from home, but obviously this is the exception.
Not being able to claim the home - client mileage hurts as this would be close to 75% of my mileage.I live relatively far from the bulk of my clients.
