Is your wife a W-2 employee?

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct expenses for working from home. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different.

If your wife is an independent contractor then the home office goes on her schedule C with other business expenses.
