Non-dependent has an office in my home

Contented · ‎January 26, 2022

My son is not a dependent, but still lives with us. He works from home and has an office in our home. We do not charge him. Are we able to count a home office expense?

No, in order to deduct a home office, it must be used for the taxpayer's self-employment or business. See Setting Up a Home Office - TurboTax Tax Tips & Videos
