Home office not self employed

[ryanfamily]

I am required by my employer to use part of my home for an office but I am not self employed.  Is there a deduction?

Yes. If you qualify to itemize your deductions and meet other requirements, then you can take a deduction for your home office expenses. However, deductions for job expenses and certain miscellaneous deductions are subject to the 2% rule.

To itemize your deductions, you would have to have personal expenses such as medical and dental expenses, mortgage interest, real estate taxes, unreimbursed job expenses and certain miscellaneous expenses, and charitable contributions that when combined together, total more than your standard deduction. For example if you file single, your standard deduction is $6300 so you would have to have personal expenses that total more than $6300.
