Deductions & credits

Business expenses, including home office expenses and deductions, are only deductible from business income. Once your deductible busienss expenses gets your taxable business income to zero, that's it. You can't take any more business deductions. Excess deductions get carried foward to the next tax year where they are deducted *if* you have the taxable business income to deduct them from.
