Deductions & credits

No.  Since you can no longer claim home office deduction you can just claim your home mortgage interest on Schedule A itemized deduction as it appears on the form 1098.

 

There is no need to split the interest deduction because you cannot claim the home office deduction.

 

In 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act suspended tax write-offs for home office deductions through 2025. That means if you are an employee who gets a W-2 from an employer, you are not eligible for the home office deduction -- even if you're working from home.
