Are you self-employed or are you a W-2 employee?

Are you self-employed? If you were self-employed your home office goes on Schedule C, and so does your other office space if you were paying rent for it.

If you are a W-2 employee, you cannot deduct anything for your office on your federal return.

W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you are preparing a return for a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses
