What is home office deduction limitation?

The home office deduction limitation refers to the maximum amount that can be deducted for expenses related to a home office. This limitation is imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and is designed to prevent abuse or excessive deductions.

What are the types of home office deduction limitation?

There are two types of home office deduction limitations: 1. Regular Method: Under this method, the deduction is calculated based on the percentage of your home used for business purposes. The total deduction is limited to the smaller of the percentage of your home used for business or the maximum square footage allowed by the IRS. 2. Simplified Method: This method allows you to deduct $5 per square foot of your home used for business, up to a maximum of 300 square feet. This provides a simpler way to calculate the deduction without the need for detailed expense records.
