Investopedia explains 'Small Office/Home Office - SOHO'

Prior to the proliferation of larger-scale businesses during the 19th century, most businesses would be categorized as SOHO. Entrepreneurs running this type of office include lawyers, consultants and freelancers who might not require a formal office to meet clients. Because a SOHO operates out of a home, some tax issues are treated differently by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
