Question

Can I claim $2/day covid employment expenses from a 9-5 job that forced me to work from home and claim business-use-of-home expenses from a separate self employment job?

I have a normal 9 to 5 office job as my main source of income. Due to the pandemic, they made us work from home which makes me eligible for the $2/day flat rate employment expenses. I also freelance on the side as a photographer and part of my loft is a studio for photography and I claim 1/4 of it as business-use-of-home expenses. Can I claim both of these since they are separate jobs?

Yes, you can claim both for your separate jobs If you meet all of the following conditions for the temporary flat rate method and business-use-of-home expense

Note: You must separate the expenses between your employment use and non-employment (personal) use of your home

For more information, please see the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) link as Home office expenses for employees
