can I write off part of my kitchen space for my home office if used solely for business

The IRS allows deductions for home office spaces that are used exclusively and regularly for business purposes. A kitchen, typically used for personal activities, is unlikely to meet this requirement. To qualify, the space must not be used for any personal activities at any time. For example, if you are a food blogger or a chef who uses a separate area of the kitchen solely for business activities, you might qualify. However, the space must be clearly delineated and not used for personal cooking or dining. The deduction is calculated based on the percentage of the home used exclusively for business.
