This is wrong .
If you are working out of an office . Like Re/MAX , Century 21 and so on.
You cannot deduct a Office in your home!!!
Now if you have your own business and you're working Exclusively out of
your
home you can .
Trust me I got audited from the IRS and got hosed on this.
I had an office in my home this was not a bedroom or a converted dining
room.
This was an actual office in my home . They said I could not deduct it
because it was just for my convenience .
I had a office I can go to and work . My office in my home was just for
my convenience .
They didn't even kiss me before they screwed me.
Trust me I got audited and it hurts !
