Home Office Tax Deduction Calculator
Estimate your home office tax deduction using either the simplified or regular method
The simplified method allows you to deduct $5 per square foot of your home used for business (maximum 300 square feet). This is the easiest calculation but might not give you the largest deduction.
The regular method allows you to deduct the actual expenses of your home office. This includes a portion of your mortgage interest, insurance, utilities, repairs, and depreciation. This method requires more record keeping but may result in a larger deduction.
