Frequently Asked Questions

Does my home office need to be a separate room?

The IRS requires the space be used regularly and exclusively for business — it doesn't need a separate room, but it must be a clearly defined area not used for personal purposes, and exclusivity is strictly enforced if audited.

What is the simplified method vs. regular method?

This calculator uses the regular (percentage-of-home) method based on actual expenses. The IRS also offers a simplified method ($5 per square foot up to 300 sq ft, max $1,500) which is easier to calculate but often yields a smaller deduction for larger offices.

Can remote employees (not self-employed) take this deduction?

No — under current US tax law, the home office deduction is only available to self-employed individuals and independent contractors, not W-2 employees, even if they work from home full-time.
