Toilet paper and supplies for a home office
Varies
Can You Write Off Toilet Paper and Supplies for a Home Office?
Short answer: Household supplies used in the office (cleaning products, paper towels) are deductible at the office percentage; shared bathroom supplies are a stretch.
A home office counts only if a specific area is used regularly and exclusively for business; the simplified method is $5 per square foot up to 300 sq ft.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
