I am self-employed and work from a home office. Each year I take the home office deduction for the apartment I rent, but this year I had a very unusual situation and paid almost no rent all year. Instead, I ended up temporarily renting two different Airbnb apartments -- one for the months of September and October and one for the month of December. I should note that these were not vacation rentals, but regular apartments in which I worked from home as usual. Is it possible to deduct the money I paid the Airbnb hosts as part of my home office deduction this year?
