I have a client with an unused home office deduction due to loss limitations. Can it be used in the year the business closes?

So if they never have income for that business again, they will never be able to use it?
It does not get triggered if the close the business or sell the property like for a rental business operation?

If I remember correctly, it stays with the house, not the business. So if a different business with a home office in the same house is started, the carried over expenses can be used for the new business.
But as you said, if/when the house is sold, it is forever lost.
