Could W-2 employees deduct home office expenses in 2025? Just saw TurboTax questions "had a home office as a condition of employment, or for the convenience of the employer." If the employees are in a hybrid (always) schedule -work from home four days a week, one day to the office, could the employee deduct home office expenses? Thanks!

    Not at the federal level.  Home office expenses may be deductible in some states, if you itemize your deductions, so the questions about home office have been retained in the program, and information will flow to your state return if you otherwise qualify.

    No.

     

    Employees working from home can't take the home office deduction since 2018.
