Tax Strategies For Business Owners - Beginning in tax year 2013 (returns filed in 2014), taxpayers may use a simplified option when figuring the deduction for business use of their home.
Note: This simplified option does not change the criteria for who may claim a home office deduction. It merely simplifies the calculation and recordkeeping requirements of the allowable deduction.
Highlights of the simplified option:
v Standard deduction of $5 per square foot of home used for business (maximum 300 square feet).
v Allowable home-related itemized deductions claimed in full on Schedule A. (For example: Mortgage interest, real estate taxes).
v No home depreciation deduction or later recapture of depreciation for the years the simplified option is used.
