deducting home office expenses

[Jenita]

How do I determine if I can deduct home office expenses? Can anyone help me.

Speak with an accountant.

In general, you could deduct most supplies and other expenses for a home office. You can deduct the rent as well based on how much of your place is dedicated to your business, but there are pretty strict rules for this, so as I said, speak with an accountant.

Better yet, to make sure you're getting all of the deductions that you're entitled to, speak with a certified public accountant (CPA).

A CPA, as opposed to a regular accountant is a specially trained professional who has acquired excellent professional training and a qualification that inspires immense respect and confidence.
