Yes, you can spread your Home Office Deduction across several businesses.
You'll need to divide up the space and enter it as if
you had 3 separate offices. The IRS doesn't provide explicit direction
on how to do this, stating only that the method you choose be
"reasonable."
The most important
thing to remember is that the total amount of your home office square footage,
when added together, should not exceed the total you would claim if you had
just 1 business use.
For example, if you
have 2 businesses and 1 office measuring 100 square feet that you use equally
for both businesses, you could enter 50 square feet for each home office. Or if
you use your home office more for 1 business than the other, you could enter 75
square feet and 25 square feet, respectively.
You will enter home office expenses for each office separately. If the expense is shared with your home (for example, property taxes), enter the total amount three times. Because you have split the home office space between the three businesses, each home office will have an allocated share of the total.
