Yes, you claim the rent as part of your "home office" expenses. The amount deductible will be calculated automatically based on the numbers you enter for the home and business use areas.
There are two ways to deduct home office expenses. One is
using Actual Expenses and the other is the Simplified method. Which
one you use depends on the amount of your expenses and the size of your office
space.
The Actual Expense method uses the business use percentage of your actual costs
(utilities, mortgage interest/rent, insurance, etc.) based on the square
footage of your home office compared to your total home. The Simplified method is $5/sq ft up
to 300 sq ft of office space.
To take a deduction for your home office, you must regularly use a portion of your home exclusively for conducting
business. Also, it must be your principal place of business. If you are an employee looking to take the
home office deduction, you must also be using your home for the convenience of
your employer, rather than for your own convenience.
