Despite an increase in remote work, most wage employees are not entitled to home office tax deductions due to the changes made by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Only self-employed individuals or those with side gigs can claim these deductions, as the law eliminated unreimbursed itemized deductions for regular employees. Some states allow limited deductions, but overall, the landscape leaves many remote workers without any tax relief for home office expenses.
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated unreimbursed itemized deductions for employees, and Congress never brought them back despite a surge in people working from home.
Home office deductions only apply to small business owners who are self-employed. If you do freelance work unrelated to your regular job at home, you might qualify.
