Retirement tax questions

This link addresses your situation and how to enter it into TurboTax:  2 Home Offices

 

There are two basic requirements for your home to qualify as a deduction: 

  1. Regular and exclusive use. 

  2. Principal place of your business. 

You must regularly use part of your home exclusively for conducting business. For example, if you use an extra room to run your business, you can take a home office deduction for that extra room. 

 

You must show that you use your home as your principal place of business. If you conduct business at a location outside of your home, but also use your home substantially and regularly to conduct business, you may qualify for a home office deduction.
