According to Owl Lab's annual State of Hybrid Work report, more than one-third of workers were still fully remote or hybrid in 2024, highlighting the ongoing prevalence of remote work.
While remote employees cannot deduct home office expenses due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, 56% of companies offered reimbursement for work equipment in 2024, providing an alternative.
Tax experts suggest that remote workers can request tax-free reimbursements from employers for home office expenses, particularly if the company follows an accountable plan.
Although federal law does not mandate reimbursements for home office expenses, 11 states require companies to compensate employees for necessary expenses, creating variability in reimbursement policies.
