Home office for bookkeepers (self-employed)

$5/sq ft up to $1,500

Can Bookkeepers Write Off a Home Office?

Short answer: Yes for bookkeepers (self-employed) 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.
