It would be claimed as a home office space, assuming the space is used 100% for the business, and nothing else, ever. If you claim it, a bit of clarification is needed.</P> <P>Percentage of time used in this business - Must be 100%. Anything less and you don't qualify for the home office deduction.</P> <P>Percentage of business conducted in this home office - This can be (and usually is) less than 100%. This is used to figure the amount of depreciation and the percentage of other deductions you can take.</P> Sun, 22 Jan 2023 18:02:34 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-garage-deduction/01/2826258#M270575 Carl 2023-01-22T18:02:34Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-garage-deduction/01/2826564#M270613 <P>Thank you.</P> Sun, 22 Jan 2023 21:56:16 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-garage-deduction/01/2826564#M270613 mb92079 2023-01-22T21:56:16Z
