Thanks Diane,
I understand what you are saying but I am confused by IRS pub. 587 pg.s 5-7.
On page 6, it lists "unrelated' repair expense examples such as (painting a room not used for business), that are not deductible, but then on page 7, it mentions all repairs such as mending and painting that are deductible, (using my office sq. ft. percentage
So are all of the repairs, that I listed, ipreviously, ncluding painting the kitchen and repairing the fence, deductible at my home office sq. ft. percentage?
