Form 6J Question (Business Expenses and Rent)

[Fitzgerald]

I tried searching the forum and the internet but could not find an answer, so I'm hoping someone here can help. On form 22A (The means test), I included my apartment rent as a business expense since I work from my apartment. However, on form 6J (Monthly Expenses) it has a place for "Rent" and also "Business Expenses." I don't want to double count my rent but I'm not sure where to place it. Thanks!

If you claim a home office expense on your IRS forms, then it would be included as a business expense. However you can't list it also as a rental expense for your personal expenses, that would be double dipping. Pick one spot or the other to list your rent, not both.

Thanks for the reply, I did claim rent as a business expense on IRS forms so I'll do the same on Form 6J.
