I deduct a portion of our taxes, insurance, phone (not the basic line, but
the calls portion). In the past I have not deducted any heat, but in looking
recently at how much I use the hot water for washing containers and
processing poultry and eggs and how much time I spend on management and
production in the house, and how much space is used storing things that
shouldn't freeze or need to be mouse-proofed, I will probably deduct a
portion of our fuel oil. I have deducted a portion of our electricity for
the walkin cooler, plant lights, etc. Since a major portion of my marketing
is via the web, and 99% of my use is farm related, I deduct our internet
access as a business expense.

I don't call it a home office. I just plug the utilities in as "utilities",
put part of the property and school tax in the tax line, part of the
insurance in the insurance line, etc.

Hi -

I thought that it would be nice to take a Federal tax deduction this
year for the farm office that's been in our home for the past 12
years.

My initial reading of the home office rules is that you can only use
this deduction if you are filing schedule "C."

We file schedule ""F"

Anyone taking a deduction for an office in their home?

thanks

Allan in WV
