1976 Federal income tax return should familiarize themselves with new, more restrictive provisions, the Internal Revenue Service cautioned. The Tax Reform Act of 1976 now permits deductions for business use of a home only if the part of the home claimed is used exclusively and regularly for business. The room also must be the self-em-ployed taxpayers' principal place of business, or used to meet clients, customers or patients. Employees can claim the deduction only if they maintain their office at home for the convenience of their employer and satisfy the above reqircments. The IRS also pointed out that deductions for the expenses of having an office at home, such as rent, heat and light, cannot exceed the income produced in that office. The tax packages mailed to taxpayers provide information on deducting expenses for use of a home under the new tax law. Additional details are contained in IRS Publication 587, "Business Use of Your Home.” Copies of the free publication may be obtained by writing "Pub. 587” on the order blank enclosed in tax packages, or by contacting the IRS.
