Deducting your home office – webinar Wednesday

Just using an area in your home as an office isn’t enough to qualify to deduct it. Find out more from the IRS.

Rural business owners commonly use part of their home in their business. This can include using an extra bedroom as a home office, an specific area of one room for product crafting such as sewing, an exterior building like a shed or garage for production or research, or a specific section of your lot or grounds for storage. The IRS allows US business owners to deduct some certain business usage of their homes with some very specific qualification criteria. A webinar this Wednesday will help answer some of the most common and technical issues for claiming a deduction for business use of the home.
