Storage of Inventory or Product Samples
You can also deduct expenses that apply to space within your
home used on a regular basis to store inventory or product
samples from your trade or business of selling products at retail
or wholesale. Your home must be the only fixed location of your
trade or business.
Line 5
If you started or stopped using your home for daycare in 2023,
you must prorate the number of hours based on the number of
days the home was available for daycare. Do not enter 8,760.
Instead, multiply 24 hours by the number of days available and
enter the result.
Daycare Facilities
If you use space in your home on a regular basis in the trade or
business of providing daycare, you may be able to deduct the
business expenses even though you use the same space for
nonbusiness purposes. To qualify for this exception, you must
have applied for (and not have been rejected), been granted
(and still have in effect), or be exempt from having a license,
certification, registration, or approval as a daycare center or as a
family or group daycare home under state law.
Part II
Line 8
If all the gross income from your trade or business is from the
business use of your home, enter on line 8 the amount from
Schedule(s) C, line 29, plus any gain derived from the business
use of your home and shown on Form 8949 (and included on
Schedule D (Form 1040)) or Form 4797, minus any loss shown
on Form 8949 (and included in Schedule D) or Form 4797 that is
allocable to the trade or business in which you use your home
but is not allocable to the use of the home. If you file more than
one Form 8829, include only the income earned and the
deductions attributable to that income during the period you
owned the home for which Part I was completed.
Expenses Related to Tax-Exempt Income
Generally, you cannot deduct expenses that are allocable to
tax-exempt income. However, if you receive a tax-exempt
parsonage allowance or a tax-exempt military housing
allowance, your expenses for mortgage interest and real
property taxes are deductible under the normal rules. No
deduction is allowed for other expenses allocable to the
tax-exempt allowance.
If some of the income is from a place of business other than
your home, you must first determine the part of your gross
income (Schedule C, line 7, and gains from Form 8949,
Schedule D, and Form 4797) from the business use of your
home. In making this determination, consider the amount of time
you spend at each location as well as other facts. After
determining the part of your gross income from the business use
of your home, subtract from that amount the total expenses
shown on Schedule C, line 28, plus any losses shown on Form
8949 (and included in Schedule D) or Form 4797 that are
allocable to the trade or business in which you use your home
but that are not allocable to the use of the home. Enter the result
on Form 8829, line 8.
Specific Instructions
Part I
Lines 1 and 2
To determine the area on lines 1 and 2, you can use square feet
or any other reasonable method if it accurately figures your
business percentage on line 7.
Do not include on line 1 the area of your home you used to
figure any expenses allocable to inventory costs. The business
percentage of these expenses should have been taken into
account on Schedule C, Part III.
Columns (a) and (b)
Enter as direct or indirect expenses only expenses for the
business use of your home (that is, expenses allowable only
because your home is used for business). If you did not operate
a business for the entire year, you can deduct only the expenses
paid or incurred for the portion of the year you used your home
for business. Other expenses not allocable to the business use
of your home, such as salaries, supplies, and advertising, are
deductible elsewhere on Schedule C and should not be entered
on Form 8829.
Special Computation for Certain Daycare Facilities
If the part of your home used as a daycare facility includes areas
used exclusively for business as well as other areas used only
partly for business, you cannot figure your business percentage
using Part I. Instead, follow these three steps.
1. Figure the business percentage of the part of your home
used exclusively for business by dividing the area used
exclusively for business by the total area of the home.
2. Figure the business percentage of the part of your home
used only partly for business by following the same method used
in Part I of the form, but enter on line 1 of your computation only
the area of the home used partly for business.
3. Add the business percentages you figured in the first two
steps and enter the result on line 7. Attach a statement with your
computation and enter “See attached computation” directly
above the percentage you entered on line 7.
Direct expenses benefit only the business part of your home.
They include painting or repairs made to the specific area or
rooms used for business. Enter 100% of your direct expenses on
the appropriate line in column (a).
Indirect expenses are for keeping up and running your entire
home. They benefit both the business and personal parts of your
home. Generally, enter 100% of your indirect expenses on the
appropriate line in column (b).
Exception. If the business percentage of an indirect expense
is different from the percentage on line 7, enter only the business
part of the expense on the appropriate line in column (a), and
leave that line in column (b) blank. For example, your electric bill
-2-
is $800 for lighting, cooking, laundry, and television. If you
reasonably estimate $300 of your electric bill is for lighting and
you use 10% of your home for business, enter $30 on line 21 in
column (a). Do not make an entry on line 21 in column (b) for any
part of your electric bill.
Excess casualty losses. See the instructions for line 29,
later, to deduct the part of your casualty losses for business use
of your home not allowed because of the limits on deducting
casualty losses as a personal expense, including any losses that
are not the result of a federally declared disaster.
Mortgage interest reported on line 10. If you are claiming the
standard deduction, do not report an amount on line 10. If you
itemize your deductions, figure the amount to include in column
(b) of line 10 as follows.
Step 1. Treat all the mortgage interest you paid as a personal
expense and figure the amount that would be deductible as an
itemized deduction on Schedule A. See Pub. 936 for more
information about figuring the home mortgage interest deduction
and the limits that may apply.
Step 2. Include in column (b) of line 10 the amount of
deductible mortgage interest figured in Step 1 that is attributable
to the home in which you conducted the business.
Because the limits on deducting mortgage interest as a
personal expense are figured using all loans secured by your
home(s), do not claim mortgage interest in column (a) as a direct
expense, even if you use a separate structure in your home in
connection with your trade or business.
Lines 9, 10, and 11
Use lines 9, 10, and 11 for business use of the home expenses
that would have been deductible as a personal expense if you
had not used your home for business. These expenses include
certain casualty losses, mortgage interest, and real estate taxes.
Taxpayers claiming the standard deduction. If you claim the
standard deduction, you will not include any mortgage interest or
real estate taxes on lines 10 and 11; instead, you will claim the
entire business use of the home portion of those expenses using
lines 16 and 17. If you are not increasing your standard
deduction by a net qualified disaster loss, then you will not
include any casualty losses on line 9; instead, you will claim the
entire business use of the home portion of your casualty losses
on line 29. If you are filing Schedule A to increase your standard
deduction by a net qualified disaster loss, see Casualty losses
reported on line 9, later.
You may prefer to itemize your deductions on
Mortgage interest reported on Schedule A. When you
figure your itemized deduction for mortgage interest on
Schedule A, include the following amounts of deductible
mortgage interest that you figured in Step 1 to the extent they are
not deducted on another form, such as Schedule E as a rental
expense.

•
Step 1. Complete a worksheet version of Section A of Form
4684 treating all your casualty losses (and gains) as personal
expenses. If you are itemizing your deductions, when completing
line 17 of this worksheet version of Form 4684, enter 10% of your
adjusted gross income excluding the gross income and
deductions attributable to the business use of the home. Do not
file this worksheet version of Form 4684; instead, keep it for your
records. You will complete a separate Form 4684 to attach to
your return using only the personal portion of your casualty
losses (and gains) for Section A.
Step 2. Include in column (b) of line 9 the loss amounts from
lines 15 and 18 of this worksheet version of Form 4684 that are
attributable to the home in which you conducted the business
and are the result of a federally declared disaster. If you are
claiming an increased standard deduction instead of itemizing
your deductions, only use a net qualified disaster loss on line 15
of the worksheet version of Form 4684 for this Step 2.
See the instructions for line 35, later, for the business use of
the home casualty losses that you must include in Section B of
the separate Form 4684 you attach to your return.
Casualty losses reported on Schedule A. Use only the
personal portion of your casualty losses (and gains) when
completing Section A of the separate Form 4684 you attach to
your return. The separate Form 4684 you attach to your return is
used to figure the casualty losses you can include on line 15 of
Schedule A and the net qualified disaster losses you can include
on line 16 of Schedule A.

conducted the business.
The personal portion of deductible mortgage interest you

included in column (b) of line 10. For example, if your business
percentage on line 7 is 30%, 70% of the amount you included in
column (b) of line 10 is deductible as an itemized deduction on
Schedule A.
Excess mortgage interest. See the instructions for line 16,
later, to deduct the part of your mortgage interest from loans
used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home in which
you conducted business that is not allowed on line 10 because
of the limits on deducting home mortgage interest as a personal
expense.
Real estate taxes reported on line 11. If you are claiming the
standard deduction, do not report an amount on line 11. If you
itemize your deductions, figure the amount to include on line 11
as follows.
Step 1. If the total of your state and local income (or, if elected
on your Schedule A, general sales) taxes, real estate taxes, and
personal property taxes is not more than $10,000 ($5,000 if
married filing separately), enter all the real estate taxes
attributable to the home in which you conducted business in
column (b) of line 11.
Step 2. If you do not meet the condition of Step 1, use the
following worksheet to figure the amount to include in column (a)
of line 11.

Real estate taxes reported on Schedule A. When you
figure your itemized deduction for state and local taxes on
Schedule A, only include the personal portion of your real estate
taxes on line 5b of Schedule A.
Excess real estate taxes. See the instructions for line 17,
later, to deduct the part of your real estate taxes for the home in
which you conducted business that is not allowed on line 11
because of the limitation on deducting state and local taxes as a
personal expense.
Line 29
Multiply the casualty losses attributable to the home in which you
conducted business that are in excess of the amount reported on
line 9 (if any) by the business percentage of those losses and
enter the result.
Line 31
Enter any amount from your 2022 Form 8829, line 44.
If you did not file a 2022 Form 8829, then your carryover of
prior year excess casualty losses and depreciation is the amount
of excess casualty losses and depreciation shown in Part IV of
the last Form 8829, if any, that you filed to claim a deduction for
business use of the home.
Line 16
Taxpayers claiming the standard deduction. If you are
claiming the standard deduction, enter all the home mortgage
interest paid for loans used to buy, build, or substantially improve
the home in which you conducted business in column (b) of
line 16. Do not include mortgage interest on a loan that did not
benefit your home (for example, a home equity loan used to pay
off credit card bills, to buy a car, or to pay tuition costs).
For example, if you filed a 2021 Form 8829 and you used the
simplified method for 2022 but are not using it for 2023, enter the
amount from line 6b of your 2022 Simplified Method Worksheet
(or line 44 of your 2021 Form 8829).
Taxpayers itemizing deductions on Schedule A. If the
amount you figured in Step 1 under Mortgage interest reported
on line 10, earlier, was less than the full amount of interest you
paid because of the limits on deducting home mortgage interest
as a personal expense, include the excess attributable to the
loans used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home in
which you conducted business in column (b) of line 16.
Example. If you paid $15,000 of home mortgage interest on
loans used to buy, build, or substantially improve the home in
which you conducted business but would only be able to deduct
$12,000 on Schedule A because of the limits that apply to
deducting home mortgage interest as a personal expense,
include $3,000 ($15,000 − $12,000 = $3,000) in column (b) of
line 16.
Line 35
Enter this amount on Form 4684, line 27, and enter "See Form
8829" above line 27.
Line 36
If your home was used in more than one business, allocate the
amount shown on line 36 to each business using any method
that is reasonable under the circumstances. For each business,
enter on Schedule C, line 30, only the amount allocated to that
business.
Part III
Lines 37 Through 40
Line 17
Enter on line 37 the cost or other basis of your home (including
land), or, if less, the fair market value of your home on the date
you first used the home for business. Do not adjust this amount

year you first used your home for business.
Taxpayers claiming the standard deduction. If you are
claiming the standard deduction, enter all the real estate taxes
paid on the home in which you conducted business in column (b)
of line 17.
Taxpayers itemizing deductions on Schedule A. If you used
the Line 11 Worksheet to figure the amount to include in column
(a) of line 11, then include the amount from line 10 of the Line 11
Worksheet in column (a) of line 17; otherwise, do not enter an
amount on line 17.
Enter on line 38 the cost or other basis of the land on which
your home sits, or, if less, the fair market value of the land on the
date you first used the home for business. Do not adjust this
amount for changes in fair market value after the year you first
used your home for business.
