Hello! I need some guidance. It is my first year back to work filing taxes after being unemployed. I work fully remote and as a W2 employee. I followed the TurboTax questions and thought I was able to claim home office expense deduction since home office space is purely used for business: however, I learned after I filed and did research that it’s for W-2 employees only.. obviously an honest mistake that I want to fix ASAP; however my taxes are still pending for e-file: this is also causing my state taxes to be held up as pending.
my question is - what is my next step to resolve this? I want to remove the deduction but can’t amend anything on TurboTax since the status is still pending. Do I want to see what IRS days? Do I paper file an amended return now and make my payment online? Either way, I am not receiving a refund and not concerned with that. I truly just want to remove the deduction claimed as a mistake.
any help to calm my mind is appreciated!
