Can I use the home office deduction for a room used for a recording studio starting August '17? Should I wait until 2018 or claim for the last 4 months of 2017?

Every tax year is separate. The use of your home office in 2017 goes on your 2017 tax return.

Thank You! Next question is how to claim only 4 months use of the home office?

The program will ask you the number of months.
