Question
Can a non resident alien (1040-NR) claim home expenses using form 8829?
Hello,
I have a client who is a professional polo player and owns a home in the United States, which he uses primarily when he is contracted to play here. He rarely occupies the property when he is not playing in the U.S. I am exploring whether a portion of the property taxes and insurance could be expensed using Form 8829, with the deduction flowing through to his Schedule C.
I understand that Form 8829 is typically filed with Form 1040, whereas my client files Form 1040-NR to report his effectively connected income. I was unable to find guidance in the IRS publications regarding this situation, so any assistance or clarification would be greatly appreciated.
