Is my renters insurance tax deductible?

I’ve been working at home all year. I’ve heard that you can deduct certain expenses from your taxes if you’re working from your home or apartment. Is this true? Is renters insurance tax deductible?

More and more people have started working from home in the last few years, so this is a common question!
While renters insurance is tax deductible, you can only deduct it if you operate a business out of your home.
For example, if you have a jewelry business and a room in your apartment is dedicated to that business, you can deduct the cost of your renters insurance from your taxes. However, if you’re a remote employee or working from home for another business, you cannot deduct your

from your taxes.
That said, taxes and insurance are both tricky subjects and often have a variety of situations and coverages that vary from person to person. If you’re unsure whether you can deduct your renters insurance from your taxes, it’s best to speak with a tax specialist or an accountant familiar with tax rules and regulations.
