My husband's employer requires him to work from home as they do not have an office in our state.

For tax year 2018 thru 2025 employee business expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return.

Only Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, fee-basis state or local government officials, and employees with impairment-related work expenses can report employee business expenses on a Form 2106.
