If you see clients in your home then the percentage of business use of your home that you use to calculate your home office deduction could be applied and used as an expense. Otherwise it might be a hard sell to an auditor.

@Bsch4477 is correct that it may be a hard sell to an auditor to claim your snow thrower as an office expense deduction.

The expense for a snow blower is similar to that of lawn care which the IRS has specifically ruled on, The IRS ruled that lawn care expenses are expenses that benefit only the part of the home, that is not used for business, and aren’t generally deductible as home office expenses, So that makes your snow blower similar to lawn care, which means it’s not a deductible home office expense.

Thank you.

There is a section under home office deductions for repair and maintenance or other expenses for the whole home. Can I add it there? The other expenses section says that snow removal is allowed.
