Last year I started a small home services business for home-bound seniors, in which I drive to and from clients' homes. I also go from one client's home to another on some days, but usually I stay at that client's home for most of the day, depending on their needs.
I read that if I have a home office, this I can deduct mileage from my home to clients' homes. But, if I am away from home seeing clients, how can I justify a home office when I am rarely home?
(Note: I am using QuickBooks Self Employed to keep track of mileage, although the software is not very accurate with my location. Whenever I return home, it displays a street address that is one block away, so I always have to edit the address. Interestingly, my phone's maps program displays my correct address.)
