Yes, as an employee, you can deduct cost of the rented office as job-related expenses, if you were required to have one by your employer. The office
must be for the convenience of your employer - not your own. If employer lets
you "telecommute" as an option, but not as mandatory requirement - no
deduction is allowed, whether it is home office or temporarily rented office.
If you do qualify as above, here is data entry:
- Federal Taxes
- Deductions & Credits (you may have to select See all
tax breaks)
- Employment Expenses
- Job-Expenses for W2 Income
