Home office deduction tripped me up during an audit last spring
I claimed the simplified home office deduction for three years without keeping a floor plan. During an audit in April, the IRS asked for a diagram of my workspace. I had to measure my 8x10 room again and realized my desk setup overlapped with a storage area. Does anyone keep a permanent record of their office layout just in case?

That's exactly why I keep a quick sketch on my phone.

My sketches look like aliens drew them.

@charlie198 same here, though mine's just a napkin drawing that looks like a kindergartner did it.
