Home Office Reimbursement
2026 · S-corporation owner-employee
One office. Two tax paths.
The right answer depends on how your business is taxed.
Most online advice collapses the home-office question into one rule. The software starts with your entity type so it can send you down the correct path.
You want the deduction.
Measure the space, enter your home costs, and compare simplified versus actual expenses.
- ✓ Business-use percentage
- ✓ Simplified vs. actual comparison
- ✓ Calculation workpaper
You want the company to reimburse you.
The valuable part is not simply knowing the home-office amount. It is converting that amount into a properly documented business reimbursement.
- ✓ Annual + monthly reimbursement
- ✓ Expense allocation workpaper
- ✓ Accountable-plan support documents
The expensive mistake
Moving money from the business account does not automatically make it a tax-free reimbursement.
A round-number “office stipend” without a calculation or substantiation is a different story from a reimbursement backed by business-use math and supporting records.

Questions
Before you run it.
Keep the page useful for search traffic without making buyers read an article before they understand the product.
Can I take a home office deduction in 2026?
Self-employed taxpayers may qualify when the space meets the applicable business-use requirements. The full tool walks through the qualification questions and compares calculation methods.
I own an S-corp. Is this still for me?
Yes. The software is designed to separate the Schedule C deduction path from the owner-employee reimbursement path and calculate the amount based on the facts you enter.
What does the accountable-plan portion do?
It helps organize the reimbursement calculation and supporting documentation into a repeatable process instead of relying on undocumented transfers from the business account.
Does this replace my CPA?
No. The software is designed to produce the calculation and documentation your tax professional can review. Unique or unusual facts still require professional judgment.
Do I have to pay before I see anything?
No. This page can show the initial comparison first. The full software is where qualification testing, detailed inputs, saved records, reports, and plan documents live.
Know the number. Keep the file.
Stop treating your home office like a tax-season guess.
Run the calculation while the year is still open. If your business needs to reimburse you, build the documentation at the same time.
