Deductions & credits

That's a bummer, but certainly good to know.  Does that also apply to using standard deduction vs actual expenses?

 

On a related note, Let's say many years down the road I sold my home and had some proceeds subject to capital gains.  Would the taxed amount be different based on only having the office deduction for a couple years vs having it for numerous years, or is it sort of a do it once and it's stuck there forever sort of thing?

 

I appreciate all your help btw.
