OK, I have never taken the home office deduction in the past as I did not feel I needed it & was trying to keep things simple, even though I have always used it, even before I was laid off & working for the company as I had no office, but worked out of my office 100% of the time. Now after being laid off five years ago after 40 years & I am on my own completely I am starting to need more help so I am considering going ahead & taking the deduction. If I go into the field to complete building inspections (residential home, commercial, insurance, new construction, etc.) & come back to my office to complete all the reports & paperwork & administrative work, etc. , what percentage of my business is (I am only calling it 100 sf for just my desk & printer, not the whole office size [mezzanine over garage]) conducted at the home office (question). Is it 50% because I work both in the field & back at the office or is it 100% because I do all of the paperwork & phone calls, etc. at the office, or is it some number in between? I just want to do it right & not have any problems, but not pay more than I can afford either.
