I'm needing to file a home office expense as I have worked from home 3 days a week for the last 3 years. It's not a home business. I am employed by a company.

Home Offices Expenses for Employees

When you’re a salaried paid employee or commissioned paid employee, there are more restrictions for claiming your home office. You can only claim a home office expense when you’re required to pay for it by your employer; you can’t claim it if your employer reimburses you for it. Your employer must file the proper paperwork by certifying your obligation to use part of your home as an office on Form T2200, Declaration of Conditions of Employment. As well, you can’t make the same tax deductions available to the self-employed.

Whether you are an Employee or Self-Employed, TurboTax Online makes it easy to claim your home office expenses.
