Home space as a deductible

[sesmithhvt]

My wife as a business where we use our garage space as her storage space for the inventory and supplies. We have taken this off in the years past, but I don't see it this year. Did I miss it or is it gone for 2017?

If this is a home based business, then you would see the deduction for inventory storage as part of the home office deduction under the business expenses.
