Remote work has significantly transformed the traditional office environment, with about 22 million employed adults working from home. However, for tax purposes, remote workers may not qualify for the home office deduction, which is mainly applicable to self-employed individuals or independent contractors operating in a designated workspace. Full-time W-2 employees, even while performing their duties from home, typically do not have this deduction available. Only those with an independent side venture may qualify for deductions, depending on their specific use of space and hours worked.
The home office deduction applies primarily to self-employed individuals or independent contractors, leaving most W-2 remote workers without the ability to claim the deduction.
Due to IRS classifications, traditional remote employees, even those working full-time from home, generally cannot claim the home office deduction.
