You should also try to designate a room or space in your house that is exclusively for business use. That way you can claim the home office and that helps immensely when it comes to claiming vehicle mileage.To qualify for the HO, it's important to understand and correctly comprehend the questions. Here's they are worded in a more clear and concise manner.
- Percentage of time you use this office for your business - For the most part, that would be 100%. In my home I have a home office for my business. I am in that home office conducting or performing business actions about 3 hours a day on average. The other 21 hours a day that room is used for nothing else. So when I do use that room for anything, it's 100% business use.
- Percentage of business conducted in the home office - For me, it's about 70-80%. I spend the other 20-30% of my time "at work" at my client's location conducting business.
