发帖数: 475 | 1 在家工作好几年了，这几天突然想到可能能在报税时减免一些税。Google了一下，好像
可以。大牛们请说说是不是这样？我的情况是公司在我家周围没有site，只能在家工作
。如果可以报税，那我前几年的税还能要回来吗？谢谢。 | t*********l
发帖数: 27 | 2 If you use part of your home for your business, you may qualify to deduct
expenses for the business use of your home. Here are six facts from the IRS
to help you determine if you qualify for the home office deduction.
1.Generally, in order to claim a deduction for a home office, you must use a
part of your home exclusively and regularly for business purposes. In
addition, the part of your home that you use for business purposes must also
be: •your principal place of business, or
•a place where you meet with patients, clients or customers in the
normal course of your business, or
•a separate structure not attached to your home. Examples might
include a studio, workshop, garage or barn. In this case, the structure does
not have to be your principal place of business or a place where you meet
patients, clients or customers.
2.You do not have to meet the exclusive use test if you use part of your
home to store inventory or product samples. The exclusive use test also does
not apply if you use part of your home as a daycare facility.
3.The home office deduction may include part of certain costs that you paid
for having a home. For example, a part of the rent or allowable mortgage
interest, real estate taxes and utilities could qualify. The amount you can
deduct usually depends on the percentage of the home used for business.
4.The deduction for some expenses is limited if your gross income from the
business use of your home is less than your total business expenses.
5.If you are self-employed, use Form 8829, Expenses for Business Use of Your
Home, to figure the amount you can deduct. Report your deduction on
Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business.
6.If you are an employee, you must meet additional rules to claim the
deduction.
Additional tests for employee use. If you are an employee and you use a part
of your home for business, you may qualify for a deduction for its business
use. You must meet the test discussed earlier plus:
your business use must be for the convenience of your employer,and
you must not rent any part of your home to your employer and use the rented
portion to perform services as an employee for that employer.
If the use of the home office is merely appropriate and helpful
you cannot deduct expenses for the business use of your home. | M*******s

That is for the convenience of employer, right? 我真的不喜欢在家工作（没有
social），不过没办法。

发帖数: 4074 | 5 可能对你的情况不过了解，不过我很难认同你的情况是for the convenience of
employer。
比如，你的公司完全没有office？不会吧？
如果你的公司有office，那你为什么不像其他所有雇员一样在公司所在地居住和工作呢？
