Sales tax and home office
Two common questions: when you owe sales tax, and how the home-office deduction actually works.
The short version
Sales tax depends on what you sell and where you sell it. Home-office deductions depend on your space, records, and tax method.
Sales tax generally applies to products and certain services. The rules vary by state, so it depends on what you sell and where.
The home-office deduction may depend on the part of your home used regularly and exclusively for business. Your records and your tax preparer's method matter too.
