Can You Write Off Water Bill?
Short answer: No: household water and sewer bills are personal; only a home office or rental share is deductible.
Water in a dedicated business building is fully deductible.
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.
