Working from home has become a permanent reality for many entrepreneurs, but too often business owners miss out on valuable tax savings.

You’ll learn:

  • What qualifies as a home office under IRS rules
  • Which expenses you can deduct, from office equipment to utilities and insurance
  • How to calculate your deduction using square footage
  • When depreciation makes sense—and what to know if you sell your home
  • Why quarterly reimbursements and simple documentation keep you audit-ready
  • Bonus: how to deduct mileage if your home office is your principal place of business
