Partnership/office in the home

[JenMO]

can a deduction be taken for office in the home by a partner? If so, where? unreimbursed partnership expense? should the form be included. I'm filing for 2008 so it will be mailed.

Yes. Line 28 Sch E

[Bees Knees]

The Partnership agreement has to say the partner is required to pay for his/her own office expenses.

[Roland Slugg]

If so...should the form be included?

Don't use F-8829. That is for use only along with Schedule C. Instead use the worksheet in IRS Pub 587. That worksheet is very similar to F-8829, but it doesn't need to be attached to the return.

Yes, that's correct.
