On Schedule C, are repairs and maintenance expenses for office space in your home or for a separate business property?

R &M on your home when you are taking a HO deduction go on the worksheet for the HO deduction not directly on schedule C.

Repairs and maintenance on schedule C would not be for a home office - those would go on Form 8829 - Expenses for business use of your home. Schedule C repairs and maintenance would be for equipment and machinery repairs, or it could be computer repairs, kitchen equipment repairs. If your business owns the property where it is housed, and it's not treated as a rental property, you would report building maintenance and repairs on Schedule C.
