Deductions & credits

This is not a deductible expense. While you use part of your home for your job, you have a job site considered your primary work location. Therefore, you do not qualify for the home office deduction.

 

Generally speaking, to qualify for the home office deduction,

  • Exclusive and regular use:  You must use a portion of your home exclusively and regularly for your business.
  • Principal place of business: Your home office must be either the principal location of that business, or a place where you regularly meet with customers or clients.

Furthermore, the business deductions on Form 2106 are allowed for Armed Forces reservist, a qualified performing artist, a fee-basis state or local government official, or an individual with a disability claiming impairment-related work expenses. All other taxpayers can no longer deduct these expenses beginning in tax year 2018.
