My husband and I both have received a T2200 from our employer. We each have a designated work space - do our expenses get submitted for each of us, or is it split?

Do our total water/heat/electricity amounts get split in two? or do we enter the total amount each since we are both using 1 of the 11 rooms of our house (2 rooms total) to perform our work duties?

If you are both working from home and use different rooms to work- yes you will split the cost of the water/heat and electricity.

Please review the CRA expenses you can claim.

Thank you - we both work from home for the same employer (in separate designated work spaces) and both received a T2200.

As per the CRA: If you and your spouse both worked from home

If you both meet the eligibility criteria, you must decide which expenses each of you will claim. Each expense can be claimed only once.

In order to determine the amount you can deduct, you have to first determine the eligible home office expenses you can claim and then calculate the total employment-use amount of those expenses.

Please read this carefully to know exactly what can be claimed and how much.
