Deductions & credits

Yes, if the rent/office space was for your business you will be able to deduct it as a business expense.  Any expense incurred in the running of a business is deductible.  Here is a list of some of the  Top Tax Write Offs For The Self Employed.   Also, please read the IRS publication on rent expense, page 9 - Publication 535 ( snap shot attached).  You can also read the entire article at IRS Publication 535 for more deductible expenses.  You will be able to record this in Turbo Tax (Self Employed), after recording your business income.  Once you have entered the income for your business,  you will then be prompted to enter expenses and this is where you would add the rent income, (snap shot attached).
