Deductions & credits

Home Office expenses that are only for the parts of your home not used for business are not deductible.  Lawn care is considered an unrelated expense.  

 

You must divide the expenses of operating your home between personal and business use.  The part of a home operating expense you can use to figure your deduction depends on both of the following:

 

  • Whether the expense is direct, indirect, or unrelated.
  • The percentage of your home used for business.

 

Table 1 describes the types of expenses you may have and the extent to which they are deductible.
