Can I deduct my home office if I'm a Lyft driver but do all recordkeeping in my office?

[AlanT222 · Accepted solution]

If you're self-employed, housing-related expenses such as mortgage interest, rent, utilities, repairs, and depreciation for the portion of your home or rental that you use to run your business are allowable expenses under the home office deduction.

You may be able to claim the home office deduction if your office is:

• Used regularly and exclusively for your business, and
• Is your principal place of business (both conditions must apply).

When you enter your home office information in TurboTax, we'll ask some questions to determine if you can claim the deduction and how much the deduction is worth. You’ll need information like the square footage of your residence and the rooms you worked in.
