Do I geta tax break for officing at home?

Yes, you can but it is subject to certain rules. The IRS website generally explains them as follows:

"If you use a portion of your home regularly and exclusively for business purposes, you may be able to take a percentage of your expenses as a home office deduction. Expenses may include the business portion of real estate taxes, mortgage interest, rent, utilities, insurance, depreciation, painting and repairs."
