Hi - We sold our house in 2023. We purchased it in 2000. I am very confused regarding the home office question. My husband was an instructor and travelled and had a home office. I have been pulling taxes from 2017 back to 2000. Sometimes, the accountant listed unreimbursed job expenses, sometimes form 2106 but it looks like it was for my union dues. We both have been W-2 employees. I found a couple of 8829 forms where we wrote our notes on but cannot find that form in the actual tax return unless I did not get a copy. The people that we worked with have retired. I see where I gave then the HOA, union dues, utilities but do not have their worksheets. I just have the actual return. Sometimes, it looked like we received money and other times it said 0.
I also think what you can deduct has changed over the years. Maybe the definition of home office as well. We no longer claim one.
I would really appreciate any help!
Thank you!!!
Any ideas on where to look to pull the numbers and where to add them in the 2023 return
