I read through the thread. I have some more questions. We bought the home early in 2020 (end of feb). So, we'll have a full year's worth of mortgage payments. Would that be enough to warrant itemized deductions? If so, should we get married in order to make filing easier?
Also, we moved from CA to WI for his job. I work from home full time for my job in California. I use a home office and I had to purchase furnishings in order to work (desk, chair, internet, etc.). My employer did not compensate for my new work environment. Would I be able to deduct that portion of the house for business purposes? Would I also be able to itemize this?
