Have you ever heard someone say that taking the home office deduction increases your audit risk?!
Yeah, that's just an old myth! 🙃
The thing you reallllly need to be careful about if you're a business owner who primarily works from home is that your home office space should be used regularly + exclusively for your business.
A kitchen table where you set up your laptop from 9 to 3, then host Taco Tuesday at 7? 🌮
That's exactly where the IRS starts to have an issue!
Home offices aren't an automatic red flag, but if you want to deduct yours, you generally need to keep personal use out of it.
