Home electricity bill

$100-$300/mo

Can You Write Off Home Electricity Bill?

Short answer: No for personal use; a qualifying home office can deduct its share.

Rental properties deduct utilities the landlord pays.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
