Clear Lake Tip: Home Office for Government Contractors
Aerospace and government contractors near JSC often miss the home office deduction for their dedicated workspace. Even if your client provides an office, you may still qualify if your home workspace is your principal place of business for administrative activities. Travel between your qualifying home office and a client site can also be fully deductible — a deduction worth thousands for active contractors.
