Last year, 2015, my wife's company started allowing employee to work at home 3 days a week. We bought a new Dell computer and two monitors. This PC is used 100% for work. If so, how do I amend last years return?

Assuming she isn't reimbursed for this, it would be an employee business expense on Form 2106, whioch transfers to Schedule A as an itemized deduction.  However, it is subject to a  2% of AGI floor.

Why two monitors?  Is she a W-2 employee?

Many folks use/need 2 monitors for their jobs... not unusual.

My wife works at home 3 days a week and drives to her office the other 2 days. She uses her home PC to connect to her work computer / network located at her office. Her job requires 2 monitors. She's a salaried employee and receives a W-2.
