Principal Place of Business

Definition of Principal Place of Business:

The place where the majority of the work for a business is performed. If you have multiple businesses, you can have multiple principal places of business; but, if you only have one business you can only have one principal place of business so you may not be able to take a home office deduction if you also have an office elsewhere.
