Unlocking Home Office Deductions: A Guide for OnlyFans Creators

Running a content business from home offers flexibility and independence — but it also opens the door to serious tax savings. If you're an OnlyFans creator working from a home studio or dedicated workspace, home office deductions could significantly lower your tax bill. Here's how to make sure you're claiming every dollar you're entitled to.

Who Qualifies for the Home Office Deduction?

To claim this deduction, your space must meet two key criteria:

  1. Regular use – You use the space consistently for your OnlyFans business.
  2. Exclusive use – The area is reserved solely for business purposes (not your dining room doubling as a filming set).

If your workspace fits these conditions, you may be eligible to deduct a portion of your home expenses.

Two Ways to Calculate Your Deduction

1. Simplified Method
The IRS allows $5 per square foot of dedicated workspace, up to 300 square feet. This method is quick and easy, with minimal documentation required.

2. Regular Method
This method lets you deduct a percentage of your actual home expenses based on the square footage used for your business. Eligible expenses include:

For example, if your home office makes up 10% of your home’s square footage, you can deduct 10% of those expenses.

Maximize Your Home Office Tax Savings

Document Everything
Keep detailed records of expenses related to your workspace. Store utility bills, mortgage statements, rent receipts, and repair invoices. The more thorough your documentation, the stronger your claim.

Create a Visual Record
Take photos or draw a floor plan showing the space designated for business use. This visual proof supports your eligibility if questions arise.

Include Indirect Expenses
Don’t forget about indirect expenses like trash removal, HVAC maintenance, and cleaning services. A portion of these costs may also be deductible.

Stay Within Reason
Be realistic. A small, well-equipped space is legitimate. Claiming half your apartment or luxury décor might trigger IRS scrutiny.

Use Accounting Software
Apps like QuickBooks or FreshBooks can help you track and categorize expenses throughout the year.

Talk to a Tax Pro
Rules around home office deductions can be tricky. A tax advisor who understands creator businesses can ensure you stay compliant while maximizing benefits.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Final Thoughts

Mastering the home office deduction is a game-changer for OnlyFans creators. With the right setup, records, and guidance, you can reduce your tax liability while maintaining compliance. This is one of the most powerful tools for self-employed professionals — make it work for you.
