Ifthe exclusive use requirement applies, you can't deduct business expenses for any part of your home that you use both for personal and business purposes. For example, if you're an attorney and use the den of your home to write legal briefs and for personal purposes, you may not deduct any business use of your home expenses. Further, under the principal place of business test, you must determine that your home is the principal place of your trade or business after considering where you perform your most important business activities and where you spend most of your business activity time, in order to deduct expenses for the business use of your home. A portion of your home may qualify as your principal place of business if you use it for the administrative or management activities of your trade or business and have no other fixed location where you conduct substantial administrative or management activities for that trade or business.

You also may take deductions for business storage purposes when the dwelling unit is the sole fixed location of the business or for regular use of a residence for the provision of daycare services; exclusive use isn't required in these cases. For more information, see Publication 587, Business Use of Your Home (Including Use by Daycare Providers).

Deductible expenses for business use of your home include the business portion of real estate taxes, mortgage interest, rent, casualty losses, utilities, insurance, depreciation, maintenance, and repairs. In general, you may not deduct expenses for the parts of your home not used for business, for example, lawn care or painting a room not used for business.

Regular method - You compute the business use of home deduction by dividing expenses of operating the home between personal and business use. You may deduct direct business expenses in full, and may allocate the indirect total expenses of the home to the percentage of the home floor space used for business. A qualified daycare provider who doesn't use his or her home exclusively for business purposes, however, must figure the percentage based on the amount of time the applicable portion of the home is used for business. Self-employed taxpayers filing Schedule C (Form 1040), Profit or Loss From Business (Sole Proprietorship) first compute this deduction on Form 8829, Expenses for Business Use of Your Home.

Regardless of the method used to compute the deduction, you may not deduct business expenses in excess of the gross income limitation. Under the regular method for computing the deduction, you may be able to carry forward some of these business expenses to the next year, subject to the gross income limitation for that year. There's no carryover provision under the safe harbor method, but you may elect into and out of the safe harbor method in any given year.

In the farming business or a partner - If you're in the farming business and file Schedule F (Form 1040), Profit or Loss From Farming, or a partner and you're using actual expenses, use the "Worksheet to Figure the Deduction for Business Use of Your Home" to figure your deduction. If you're using the simplified method to figure the deduction, use the "Simplified Method Worksheet" to figure your deduction. Both worksheets are in Publication 587. Farmers claim their expenses on Schedule F (Form 1040) PDF. Partners generally claim their unreimbursed partnership expenses on Schedule E (Form 1040), Supplemental Income and Loss.

How do i get a copy of the product key that belong to my company? and without the product key, I cannot activate the software. Out of over 40 computers my company have bought from Dell, this is a first.

I've had less than stellar experience with Dell customer support by email on another matter because their english is non existant. Meaning, they do not read what I am trying to explain. Instead they send generic forms.

Then I found this from Dell;

How to Find and Activate Microsoft Office 2016 or 365 on your New Dell System

"Beginning December 16, 2016, if you purchased your Microsoft Office product with your Dell system, we will no longer ship an Office product key card to activate your product. Systems sold after this date are Digital Delivery systems with the software loaded onto your system ready for activation via the following instructions."

I took the plunge as Dell did not provide info, by launching Office 2016 which prompted me to ask me for Microsoft account which my company already had one so I logged in. Then it activated the 25 digit code which was preloaded with the software.

Dell was very poor in communicating to businesses who bought upgraded versions of Office. No information, no nothing and I wasted several hours of my company time looking for an answer before I simply went ahead and "Install."

To be fair, I think this is more Microsoft's fault than Dell's. Personally, I think Microsoft is deliberately making the activation of one-time purchase versions of Office user-hostile in order to push people toward the Office 365 software rental paradigm.

I didn't see a 25 character key when I activated, btw. I don't think I missed it, so my guess is they didn't show it to me because I created a new MS account and this is the only key associated with it. That's only a guess, though.

My procedure for my company's computers with Office 2016 is to create a unique MS account for each computer, because I want the license to be associated with the machine to as much extent as possible. I describe that here.

I tested reinstalling the Win10 image from support.dell.com and found out it did not match the original factory installation and that it was missing the Office Home and Business 2016 I purchased. I had not activated Office 2016, so I guess any pre-stored key was wiped out when I re-imaged the laptop.

I've wasted an entire day on the phone, support chat, and searching forums for a solution. I tried both the Office 2016 installer and another installer that Dell support provided. I'm so frustrated I opened a Twitter account for my business just to get their attention. See

Dell, please put the software ON the computer, I don't necessarily mind downloading Office from a link on the desktop but there's no reason I should have to call support and sit through all this stupid troubleshooting because they don't have a working procedure for how to install office.

The support rep is downloading updates to office now.... perhaps to resolve the activation problems... utterly ridiculous waste of my time for something that should be and has been simple in the past..... and shocker, it's still not working.

To help with issues you might encounter when installing Microsoft 365 because of slow speeds or unreliable connections, as a first step download the Support and Recovery Assistant tool. (For information about this tool, go here.)

If the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant didn't help, follow the steps below that are specific to your plan. You need to be connected to the internet to download this installer file, but once that's done, you can then install Microsoft 365 offline on a PC at your convenience.

If your Microsoft 365 product is one of the following, you have a Microsoft 365 for home product. This can be a subscription, or a one-time purchase of Microsoft 365 Office, or individual Microsoft 365 application. These products are usually associated with a personal Microsoft account.

If your Microsoft 365 product is one of the following, you have a Microsoft 365 for business product. These products are usually associated with a work or school account, and your Microsoft 365 license (if your subscription has one) came from the organization where you work or go to school.

To download the offline installer, go to www.office.com. If you're not already signed in with the Microsoft account associated with your copy of Microsoft 365 or Microsoft 365 do that now. If you're signed in with a different account, sign out of that and then sign in again with the correct Microsoft account.

Once the download is complete, open File Explorer and locate a new virtual drive, for example (D:). This drive contains the Microsoft 365 installation files. If you don't see the new drive, locate the image file you downloaded and double-click it. The new drive should appear in your directory.

Select the Microsoft 365 folder from the virtual drive and then double-click either the Setup32.exe to install the 32-bit version of Microsoft 365, or Setup64.exe to install the 64-bit version to begin the offline installation. If you're not sure which version is right for you, see Choose the 64-bit or 32-bit version of Office.

If you have a Microsoft 365 for business product you can use the Microsoft 365 Deployment Tool (ODT) to download and install Microsoft 365 or Microsoft 365 offline. The tool is designed for enterprise environments and runs from the command line, so the steps are more complicated--but they'll still work for installation on a single device.

You must have a Microsoft 365 or Microsoft 365 license assigned to you to install and activate the Microsoft 365 apps. To check if you have one, see What Microsoft 365 business product or license do I have?

If you have a Microsoft 365 Apps for business or Microsoft 365 Business Standard plan, you need to download the Microsoft 365 Apps for business version. For all other plans, download the Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise version. See the following if you're not sure which version to install:

It can take a while to finish downloading and it may look like nothing is happening while the files are downloading. You'll know the installation is complete once the dialog box closes on its own, and a new folder called Office appears in the ODT folder you created earlier.
