The home office deduction.

[carol b]

I had heard about this before but didn't really know what was deductible.
If you have an office at home you may find this information helpful.

If you use a portion of your home for business purposes, you may be able to take a home office deduction whether you are self-employed or an employee. Expenses that you may be able to deduct for business use of the home may include the business portion of real estate taxes, mortgage interest, rent, utilities, insurance, depreciation, painting, and repairs.
