Thank you for choosing TurboTax,
The rules for claiming home office expenses depend heavily on your type of employment:
- Both self-employed individuals and eligible employees may claim expenses for heat, electricity, water, maintenance, and rent if applicable.
- Commission employees and the self-employed may also claim property taxes and insurance.
- Only self-employed taxpayers may claim mortgage interest as a home office expense.
If you have maintenance costs that are related exclusively to your home office, you can deduct the entire portion of those expenses.
