Easier Filing for Those Who Work From Home

Do you work from home? If so, do you have a home office? If you answered yes to both of those questions, you probably already know that you qualify for a home office deduction. What you might not realize, however, is that, as of last year, changes to tax law have resulted in an easier filing process as it relates to this deduction.

While past filers were forced to keep tally of all of their incurred home office expenses, now deductions can be made based on the size of the home office. Those who work at home can deduct $5 for every square foot of their office, not to exceed a deduction of $1,500. Even better yet, receiving the deduction now only takes one line of writing, rather than forty-three!  


If you don’t want to do the math yourself or to miss out on other possible deductions, take advantage of accounting services in your area. Susan S. Lewis, Ltd. offers a variety of Naperville accounting services geared specifically toward those who work from home.
