Troubleshooting

Please indicate how many rooms you are using. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is looking for # of rooms or square footage as the method. When claiming home office expenses, there are two methods of calculation. You can pick either 

  • the # of rooms in the house versus the # of rooms you used as an office or
  • the square footage of the house versus the square footage of your office space.

Should the CRA ask in the future, for the method of calculation you used, you would inform them that you used the number of rooms in the house versus the number of rooms you used as an office.
