The most secure digital platform to get legally binding, electronically signed documents in just a few seconds. You cannot deduct expenses for the business use of your home incurred during any part of the year you did not use your home for business purposes.
For example, if you begin using part of your home for business on July 1, and you meet all the tests from that date until the end of the year, consider only your expenses for the last half of the year in figuring your allowable deduction.
Generally, you cannot deduct expenses that are related to tax-exempt allowances. However, if you receive a tax-exempt parsonage allowance or a tax-exempt military allowance, your expenses for mortgage interest, mortgage insurance premiums, and real estate taxes are deductible under the normal rules.
No deduction is allowed for other expenses related to the tax-exempt allowance. If your housing is provided free of charge and the value of the housing is tax exempt, you cannot deduct the rental value of any portion of the housing. You must divide the expenses of operating your home between personal and business use.
The part of a home operating expense you can use to figure your deduction depends on both of the following. Table 1 describes the types of expenses you may have and the extent to which they are deductible. Certain expenses are deductible to the extent they would have been deductible as an itemized deduction on your Schedule A or, if claiming the standard deduction, would have increased your standard deduction had you not used your home for business.
If the expense is indirect, use the business percentage of these expenses to figure how much to include in your total business-use-of-the-home deduction. If you are itemizing your deductions on Schedule A Form , these expenses include the following. See the Instructions for the Worksheet To Figure the Deduction for Business Use of Your Home , later in this publication, or the Instructions for Form for more information about figuring and deducting the business part of these otherwise allowable expenses.
For more information about deducting real estate taxes, see Pub. For more information about deducting home mortgage interest and mortgage insurance premiums, see Pub. For more information about deducting casualty losses, see Pub. Other expenses are deductible only if you use your home for business. These expenses generally include but are not limited to the following. Depreciation discussed under Depreciating Your Home , later. Utilities and services.
But see Telephone , later, for different rules that apply to telephone expenses. You can deduct the cost of insurance that covers the business part of your home. However, if your insurance premium gives you coverage for a period that extends past the end of your tax year, you can deduct only the business percentage of the part of the premium that gives you coverage for your tax year.
You can deduct the business percentage of the part that applies to the following year in that year. If you rent the home you occupy and meet the requirements for business use of the home, you can deduct part of the rent you pay. To figure your deduction, multiply your rent payments by the percentage of your home used for business.
If you own your home, you cannot deduct the fair rental value of your home. However, see Depreciating Your Home , later. The cost of repairs that relate to your business, including labor other than your own labor , is a deductible expense. For example, a furnace repair benefits the entire home. Repairs keep your home in good working order over its useful life. Examples of common repairs are patching walls and floors, painting, wallpapering, repairing roofs and gutters, and mending leaks.
However, repairs are sometimes treated as a permanent improvement and are not deductible. See Permanent improvements , later, under Depreciating Your Home. If you install a security system that protects all the doors and windows in your home, you can deduct the business part of the expenses you incur to maintain and monitor the system. You can also take a depreciation deduction for the part of the cost of the security system relating to the business use of your home. Expenses for utilities and services, such as electricity, gas, trash removal, and cleaning services, are primarily personal expenses.
However, if you use part of your home for business, you can deduct the business part of these expenses. Generally, the business percentage for utilities is the same as the percentage of your home used for business. The basic local telephone service charge, including taxes, for the first telephone landline into your home is a nondeductible personal expense.
However, charges for business long-distance phone calls on that line, as well as the cost of a second line into your home used exclusively for business, are deductible business expenses. Do not include these expenses as a cost of using your home for business.
Deduct these charges separately on the appropriate form or schedule. For example, if you file Schedule C Form , deduct these expenses on line 25, Utilities instead of line 30, Expenses for business use of your home. If you own your home and qualify to deduct expenses for its business use, you can claim a deduction for depreciation.
Depreciation is an allowance for the wear and tear on the part of your home used for business. You cannot depreciate the cost or value of the land. You recover its cost when you sell or otherwise dispose of the property. The adjusted basis and fair market value of your home excluding land at the time you began using it for business. The percentage of your home used for business. See Business Percentage , later.
The adjusted basis of your home is generally its cost, plus the cost of any permanent improvements you made to it, minus any casualty losses or depreciation deducted in earlier tax years. For a discussion of adjusted basis, see Pub. A permanent improvement increases the value of property, adds to its life, or gives it a new or different use.
Examples of improvements are replacing electric wiring or plumbing, adding a new roof or addition, paneling, or remodeling. You must carefully distinguish between repairs and improvements. See Repairs , earlier, under Actual Expenses. You must also keep accurate records of these expenses.
These records will help you decide whether an expense is a deductible or a capital added to the basis expense. However, if you make repairs as part of an extensive remodeling or restoration of your home, the entire job is an improvement. You buy an older home and fix up two rooms as a beauty salon. You patch the plaster on the ceilings and walls, paint, repair the floor, install an outside door, and install new wiring, plumbing, and other equipment. Normally, the patching, painting, and floor work are repairs and the other expenses are permanent improvements.
However, because the work gives your property a new use, the entire remodeling job is a permanent improvement and its cost is added to the basis of the property.
You cannot deduct any portion of it as a repair expense. Decrease the basis of your property by the depreciation you deducted, or could have deducted, on your tax returns under the method of depreciation you properly selected.
If you deducted less depreciation than you could have under the method you selected, decrease the basis by the amount you could have deducted under that method. If you did not deduct any depreciation, decrease the basis by the amount you could have deducted. If you deducted more depreciation than you should have, decrease your basis by the amount you should have deducted, plus the part of the excess depreciation you deducted that actually decreased your tax liability for any year.
If you deducted the incorrect amount of depreciation, see Pub. The fair market value of your home is the price at which the property would change hands between a buyer and a seller, neither having to buy or sell, and both having reasonable knowledge of all necessary facts.
Sales of similar property, on or about the date you begin using your home for business, may be helpful in determining the property's fair market value.
If you began using your home for business before , continue to use the same depreciation method you used in past tax years. However, if you figured your deduction for business use of the home using the simplified method in a prior year, you will need to use the optional depreciation table for modified accelerated cost recovery system MACRS property.
See Pub. For more information about the simplified method, see Revenue Procedure , I. If you began using your home for business for the first time in , depreciate the business part as nonresidential real property under MACRS. Under MACRS, nonresidential real property is depreciated using the straight line method over 39 years. To figure the depreciation deduction, you must first figure the part of the cost of your home that can be depreciated depreciable basis.
The depreciable basis is figured by multiplying the percentage of your home used for business by the smaller of the following. The adjusted basis of your home excluding land on the date you began using your home for business. The fair market value of your home excluding land on the date you began using your home for business.
If was the first year you used your home for business, you can figure your depreciation for the business part of your home by using the appropriate percentage from the following table. Table 2. Multiply the depreciable basis of the business part of your home by the percentage from the table for the first month you use your home for business.
In May, George began to use one room in his home exclusively and regularly to meet clients. George files his return based on the calendar year. May is the fifth month of his tax year. Add the costs of permanent improvements made before you began using your home for business to the basis of your property.
Depreciate these costs as part of the cost of your home as explained earlier. The costs of improvements made after you begin using your home for business that affect the business part of your home, such as a new roof are depreciated separately.
Multiply the cost of the improvement by the business-use percentage and depreciate the result over the recovery period that would apply to your home if you began using it for business at the same time as the improvement. For improvements made this year, the recovery period is 39 years. For the percentage to use for the first year, see Table 2.
For more information on recovery periods, see Pub. To find the business percentage, compare the size of the part of your home that you use for business to your whole house. Use the resulting percentage to figure the business part of the expenses for operating your entire home. You can use any reasonable method to determine the business percentage. The following are two commonly used methods for figuring the percentage. Divide the area length multiplied by the width used for business by the total area of your home.
If the rooms in your home are all about the same size, you can divide the number of rooms used for business by the total number of rooms in your home. Use lines 1—7 of Form , or lines 1—3 on the Worksheet To Figure the Deduction for Business Use of Your Home near the end of this publication to figure your business percentage.
If your gross income from the business use of your home equals or exceeds your total business expenses including depreciation , you can deduct all your business expenses related to the use of your home. If your gross income from the business use of your home is less than your total business expenses, your deduction for certain expenses for the business use of your home is limited. Your deduction of otherwise nondeductible expenses, such as insurance, utilities, and depreciation of your home with depreciation of your home taken last , that are allocable to the business, is limited to the gross income from the business use of your home minus the sum of the following.
The business part of expenses you could deduct even if you did not use your home for business such as mortgage interest, mortgage insurance premiums, real estate taxes, and casualty losses attributable to a federally declared disaster if you itemize deductions on Schedule A Form or net qualified disaster losses if you claim the standard deduction.
The business expenses that relate to the business activity in the home for example, business phone, supplies, and depreciation on equipment , but not to the use of the home itself. If your business expenses related to the home are greater than the current year's limit, you can carry over the excess to the next year in which you use actual expenses. They are subject to the deduction limit for that year, whether or not you live in the same home during that year.
If you file Schedule C Form , figure your deduction limit and carryover on Form You meet the requirements for deducting expenses for the business use of your home. You are itemizing your deductions on Schedule A Form and your home mortgage interest and total state and local taxes would not be limited on your Schedule A if you had not used your home for business. In , your business expenses and the expenses for the business use of your home are deducted from your gross income in the following order.
If part of the gross income from your trade or business is from the business use of part of your home and part is from a place other than your home, you must determine the part of your gross income from the business use of your home before you figure the deduction limit. In making this determination, consider the time you spend at each location, the business investment in each location, and any other relevant facts and circumstances.
If your home office qualifies as your principal place of business, you can deduct your daily transportation costs between your home and another work location in the same trade or business. For more information on transportation costs, see Pub. The area you use to figure your deduction is limited to square feet. See Simplified Amount , later, for information about figuring the amount of the deduction.
If you elect to use the simplified method, you cannot deduct any actual expenses for the business except for business expenses that are not related to the use of the home. You also cannot deduct any depreciation including any additional first-year depreciation or section expense for the portion of the home that is used for a qualified business use.
The depreciation deduction allowable for that portion of the home is deemed to be zero for a year you use the simplified method. If you figure your deduction for business use of the home using actual expenses in a subsequent year, you will have to use the appropriate optional depreciation table for MACRS to figure your depreciation.
For more information about claiming depreciation in a subsequent year, see Revenue Procedure , I. Although you cannot deduct any depreciation or section expense for the portion of your home used for a qualified business use, you may still claim depreciation or the section expense deduction on other assets used in the business for example, furniture and equipment. When using the simplified method, treat as personal expenses your mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and casualty losses.
If you also rent part of your home, you must still allocate these expenses between rental use and personal use for this purpose, personal use includes business use reported using the simplified method. If you used actual expenses to figure your deduction for business use of the home in a prior year and your deduction was limited, you cannot deduct the disallowed amount carried over from the prior year during a year you figure your deduction using the simplified method.
Instead, you will continue to carry over the disallowed amount to the next year that you use actual expenses to figure your deduction. Make the election for a home by using the simplified method to figure the deduction for the qualified business use of that home on a timely filed, original federal income tax return. An election for a tax year, once made, is irrevocable. A change from using the simplified method in one year to actual expenses in a succeeding tax year, or vice versa, is not a change in method of accounting and does not require the consent of the Commissioner.
If you share your home with someone else who also uses the home in a business that qualifies for this deduction, each of you makes your own election. If you conduct more than one business that qualifies for this deduction in your home, your election to use the simplified method applies to all your qualified business uses of that home. If you used more than one home in your business during the year for example, you moved during the year , you can elect to use the simplified method for only one of the homes.
You must figure the deduction for any other home using actual expenses. Your deduction for the qualified business use of a home is the sum of each amount you figure for a separate qualified business use of your home. To figure your deduction for the business use of a home using the simplified method, you will need to know the following information for each qualified business use of the home.
The allowable area of your home used in conducting the business. If you did not conduct the business for the entire year in the home or the area changed during the year, you will need to know the allowable area you used and the number of days you conducted the business for each month. If the qualified business use is for a daycare facility that uses space in your home on a regular but not exclusive basis, you will need to know the percentage of time that part of your home is used for daycare.
To figure the amount you can deduct for qualified business use of your home using the simplified method, follow these three steps. See Allowable area and Space used regularly for daycare , later. Subtract the expenses from the business that are not related to the use of the home from the gross income related to the business use of the home. If these expenses are greater than the gross income from the business use of the home, then you cannot take a deduction for this business use of the home.
See Gross income limitation , later. Take the smaller of the amounts from 1 and 2. This is the amount you can deduct for this qualified business use of your home using the simplified method.
If you are a partner or you use your home in your farming business and file Schedule F Form , you can use the Simplified Method Worksheet , near the end of this publication, to help you figure your deduction. If you use your home in a trade or business and you file Schedule C Form , you will use the Simplified Method Worksheet in your Instructions for Schedule C to figure your deduction.
In most cases, the allowable area is the smaller of the actual area in square feet of your home used in conducting the business and square feet.
Your allowable area may be smaller if you conducted the business as a qualified joint venture with your spouse, the area used by the business was shared with another qualified business use, you used the home for the business for only part of the year, or the area used by the business changed during the year. You can use the Area Adjustment Worksheet for simplified method , near the end of this publication, to help you figure your allowable area for a qualified business use.
If the qualified business use of the home is also a qualified joint venture, you and your spouse will figure the deduction for the business use separately. Split the actual area used in conducting business between you and your spouse in the same manner you split your other tax attributes. Then, each spouse will figure the allowable area separately. If you share your home with someone else who uses the home to conduct business that also qualifies for this deduction, you may not include the same square feet to figure your deduction as the other person.
You must allocate the shared space between you and the other person in a reasonable manner. Kristen and Lindsey are roommates. Kristen uses square feet of their home for a qualified business use. Lindsey uses square feet of their home for a separate qualified business use. The qualified business uses share square feet. In addition to the portion that they do not share, Kristen and Lindsey can both claim 50 of the square feet or divide the square feet between them in any reasonable manner.
If divided evenly, Kristen could claim square feet using the simplified method and Lindsey could claim square feet. If you conduct more than one business qualifying for the deduction, you are limited to a maximum of square feet for all of the businesses. Allocate the actual square footage used up to the maximum of square feet among your qualified business uses in a reasonable manner. However, do not allocate more square feet to a qualified business use than you actually use for that business.
The simplified method does not apply to rental use. A rental use that qualifies for the deduction must be figured using actual expenses. If the rental use and a qualified business use share the same area, you will have to allocate the actual area used between the two uses. You cannot use the same area to figure a deduction for the qualified business use as you are using to figure the deduction for the rental use. Part-year use or area changes for simplified method only.
If your qualified business use was for a portion of the year for example, a seasonal business, a business that begins during the year, or you moved during the year or you changed the square footage of your qualified business use, your deduction is limited to the average monthly allowable square footage.
You calculate the average monthly allowable square footage by adding the amount of allowable square feet you used in each month and dividing the sum by When determining the average monthly allowable square footage, you cannot take more than square feet into account for any 1 month.
Additionally, if your qualified business use was less than 15 days in a month, you must use for that month. Andy files his federal income tax return on a calendar year basis. On July 20, he began using square feet of his home for a qualified business use. He continued to use the square feet until the end of the year. Amy files her federal income tax return on a calendar year basis. On April 20, she began using square feet of her home for a qualified business use.

Corey works on maintenance of the cabin 3 or 4 hours each day during the week and spends the rest of the time fishing, hiking, and relaxing. Corey's family members, however, work substantially full time on the cabin each day during the week.
The main purpose of being at the cabin that week is to do maintenance work. For purposes of determining whether a dwelling unit was used as a home, you may not have to count days you used the property as your main home before or after renting it or offering it for rent as days of personal use. You rented or tried to rent the property for 12 or more consecutive months, or. You rented or tried to rent the property for a period of less than 12 consecutive months and the period ended because you sold or exchanged the property.

The following examples show how to determine whether you used your rental property as a home. You converted the basement of your home into an apartment with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small kitchen.
You rented the basement apartment at a fair rental price to college students during the regular school year. You rented to them on a 9-month lease days. During June 30 days , your brothers stayed with you and lived in the basement apartment rent free. Your basement apartment was used as a home because you used it for personal purposes for 30 days.
Rent-free use by your brothers is considered personal use. You rented the guest bedroom in your home at a fair rental price during the local college's homecoming, commencement, and football weekends a total of 27 days. Your sister-in-law stayed in the room, rent free, for the last 3 weeks 21 days in July. The room was used as a home because you used it for personal purposes for 21 days.
You own a condominium apartment in a resort area. You rented it at a fair rental price for a total of days during the year. Your family actually used the apartment for 10 of those days. Therefore, the apartment is treated as having been rented for — 10 days. Your family also used the apartment for 7 other days during the year. You used the apartment as a home because you used it for personal purposes for 17 days. See Used as a home but rented less than 15 days , later, for more information.

If you use a dwelling unit for personal purposes, but not as a home, report all the rental income in your income. Because you used the dwelling unit for personal purposes, you must divide your expenses between the rental use and the personal use as described earlier in this chapter under Dividing Expenses. Your deductible rental expenses can be more than your gross rental income; however, see Limits on Rental Losses in chapter 3. Any expenses related to the home, such as mortgage interest, property taxes, and any qualified casualty loss, will be reported as normally allowed on Schedule A Form See the Instructions for Schedule A for more information on deducting these expenses.
If you use a dwelling unit as a home and rent it 15 days or more during the year, include all your rental income in your income. Since you used the dwelling unit for personal purposes, you must divide your expenses between the rental use and the personal use as described earlier in this chapter under Dividing Expenses.
If you had a net profit from renting the dwelling unit for the year that is, if your rental income is more than the total of your rental expenses, including depreciation , deduct all of your rental expenses.
