Home Office Deduction Criteria

Oct 16, 2024

If you’re running your photography business from home, you might be wondering: Is my home office deductible? The answer could help you save big on your taxes! In my latest YouTube video, I break down what qualifies as a home office, what you can deduct, and how you can take full advantage of the home office deduction criteria as a small business owner.

Whether you’re working from a cozy corner in your living room or a dedicated room for editing and client calls, you might be eligible for the home office deduction. But the IRS has specific rules about what qualifies—like needing to use your space exclusively and regularly for business.

In this video, I’ll also walk you through the two methods to calculate your deduction: the Simplified Method, which allows you to easily deduct $5 per square foot, or the Regular Method, where you can deduct a percentage of your home expenses. I’ll help you figure out which one is best for you, plus share some tips to ensure you’re meeting the home office deduction criteria.

If you’re a photographer looking to lower your taxable income and keep more of your earnings, this video is for you! Click below to watch the full breakdown and make sure you’re taking advantage of every tax-saving opportunity available.
