Same here...especially if you trip the flag and they do a field audit.

While technically possible, the idea of writing off home/office space is a
high risk for auditing. My accountant has always told me that for the
little value you get out of it, it's not worth the risk.
Just FYI.

You might ask the accountant about writing off part of your mortgage/rent as
this lab is taking up square footage in your home, and it's for work. It's
not that cut and dry, but you may get another break there.
With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy and
with science.
