Many taxpayers who are entitled to the home office deduction don't claim it because they fear the IRS will disallow it. If part of your home is used exclusively and regularly for business, you may be able to deduct a share of expenses such as mortgage interest, insurance, utilities, repairs and depreciation.
This 60-minute home office deduction webinar explains the tests for qualifying, how separate structures are handled, and the two methods for calculating the deduction, including working out the business-use percentage of your home. You'll also learn the special rules for daycares, business limits, where and how to report the deduction, and what happens when you sell the property, including the Section 121 exclusion. The session finishes with red flags to watch for.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Fear of an audit leads many eligible taxpayers to skip a legitimate deduction. Knowing the qualification tests, calculation methods and reporting rules lets you claim it with confidence and avoid red flags.
This session suits office managers, HR professionals, bookkeepers, accountants, business owners, financial planners and tax professionals.
