Home Office Deductions for W2 Married
Husband and I both are W2 regular employees for different companies. We both have worked from home since before Covid (same situation at our jobs...no office space at work, so our bosses told us to work from home permanently).
We are NOT doing the standard deduction. I thought home offices are no longer deductible. But under Employment Expenses, Job Related Expenses, Turbo Tax is still asking us for the "old" information that I thought was no longer deductible...such as square footage of the home office, how much in utilities, etc.
It also asks for mortgage interest and property taxes paid (which is very confusing, because we had already entered that in the Your Home section). It's also very confusing because this section has an area for both my husband's biz expenses/home office and my own. So under his home office, it asks for utilities for the entire house. And then under mine, it asks the same question. So if our utilities are $2,000 per year for the entire house, do I enter $1,000 on my home office and $1,000 on his?
Thanks for any help with this. Very confused
