  Expenses for Business Use of Your Home

Tax Reducers®  
900 S. Winchester Blvd Ste 1  
San Jose, CA 95128

If you regularly and exclusively use part of your home for business or if you regularly use part of your home for day care or to store inventory or product samples , then you may be able to take a portion of your home expenses as a deduction.

For an office or storage in the home:
- Total square footage of your home
- Total square footage used regularly and exclusively for office
- Total square footage used for storage of inventory or product samples

For day care business in your home:
- Total square footage of your home
- Total square footage used regularly and exclusively for day care
- Total square footage used only partly for day care
- For part-time use: hours per day and days per year

Expenses of the office, day care or storage may be both direct and indirect. Direct expenses are those which are paid for and apply only to the business portion of the home. For example, if you have a separate insurance policy on the dedicated day care portion of your home, that would be direct. The amount you pay for homeowner's insurance on your entire house would be allocated and therefore indirect.

Provide both direct and indirect costs for the following:
- Insurance
- Repairs and Maintenance
- Rent
- Utilities
- Other expenses

If you are buying your home, we will get the interest and taxes from information provided elsewhere. But we will need to know about your home's value to create a depreciation expense:
- Purchase price of your home
- Cost of Improvements (not repairs) to your home
- Prior depreciation taken, if any (include a COPY of your prior year tax return)
- Current fair market value of your home
- Percent of value attributable to land
