Hi FernF,

Just a follow up to the above answer may be helpful to you. The 1099 NEC is enough in this case. A more pressing interest will be the area of the office that is being used. TurboTAx requires that you show the ratio of the office to the home as a fraction. If the damage is directly to the office, then 100% of the amount is deductible. If the damage is not a directly expensed to the office, then only the ratio of office divided by the entire home is allowed.
