Tax deduction limits

Not every home based business related expenses can be treated as a home office deduction. There are tax deduction limits. For example, the cost of landscaping and lawn care cannot be treated as a home office expense.

Tax deduction limits

Home office deductions have tax deduction limits. Basically, home office deductions cannot exceed your gross income from the home office business. For home based business owners who conduct their primary business from home, this gross income limit poses no problem. Income from the home office activity will more than exceed home office expenses.

For example, if a dentist conducts his or her practice from a home office, there should be no problem in deducting all home office expenses. For home based business owners who use a home office for a sideline activity, however, the gross income limit may pose a problem.
