Deductions & Write-Offs
“I'm asking if the home office deduction is worth claiming for me and whether it could get audited?”
Whether the home office deduction is worth claiming often depends on how the space is used, whether it is dedicated to business, and how well the related records support the claim. The audit question usually turns on the same facts, especially the consistency of the workspace, the business purpose, and whether the expense pattern looks reasonable for the type of activity involved. In many cases, stronger documentation and a clear separation between personal and business use tend to make the position easier to support if it is ever reviewed. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
