Home office for authors

Can Authors Write Off a Home Office?
Short answer: Yes for authors if part of your home is used regularly and only for your business.
Use the simplified $5 per square foot (up to 300 sq ft) or actual costs by percentage of the home. A spot at the kitchen table doesn't count.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s and platform tax summaries, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose.
