Tax deduction for home office expenses

The rules are very strict, and IRS scrutinizes home office deductions carefully. To help taxpayers determine whether to take the deduction, the AICPA published a short (less than 2 page) summary of the rules, which you can visit here. The IRS also published recent guidance, which you can find here.
