I am coming to you for some important tax advice, and I am hoping you can help me. I heard that you were very prompt at replying to your clients! I run a small business selling portable saunas. We call them "Hot Pockets". They sell like crazy, especially in the Winter. I grossed $72,000 in product sales last year. And now I am doing my taxes. Yes, I am a little late in filing my 2021 return - no big deal, right? I am familiar with the deductions to claim for business purposes, however all this time I didn't realize that I could be deducting expenses for the cost of my home office. My sister took introductory taxation last year told me that all of these amounts could be deducted. That would be great if they were! A quick measure of the square footage has my office occupying about 18% of my home. Here are the total expenses I have paid out to earn my income for the year: Utility costs for home: $2,500 Maintenance \& repairs for the home: $3,100 Property taxes for the home: $5,400 House insurance: $1,300 Interest on mortgage: $4,600 Mortgage payments: $6,500 Home telephone monthly charge: $60 Separate land line to the home work space monthly charge: $48 Home internet service fees: $720 (about 30% is business related) Do you think it is worth the effort to claim these? If so, what would my total claim be? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I don't really know much about taxes. I look forward to your response. Tax rules are according to Canada
