[quote=Anonymous]Look at the rules for the home office deduction. If he's using a bedroom as an office then he can't get the deduction -- that is if it's both an office AND a bedroom it isn't eligible. It has to be used 100 percent in support of the business and having a bed in it will disqualify it. If it is eligible you have to calculate what proportion it is of your house, either by percentage based on sq ft or that it's e.g. 1 out of 8 rooms (of similar size). Then you will be able to deduct that portion e.g. 1/8 of your housing costs, mortgage, bills etc. You can also deduct the direct costs for the office -- so if you do any work to that particular room then it is deducitble. If you do work to the entire house that also benefits that room, e.g. a new roof, then you can deduct 1/8 of the cost. Check the IRS website. It's very helpful.[/quote]
