To enter your employee home office, follow the instructions below: 

  1. Click 'Take me to my return'
  2. Select the 'Federal Taxes' tab and then click the 'Deductions & Credits' tab below it
  3. Scroll down to the 'Employee Expenses' section and click the blue hyperlink 'Show more'
  4. Click 'Start' or 'Revisit' next to 'Job Expenses for W-2'
  5. Next you'll be asked about your 'occupation'. This section will ask about all unreimbursed employee job expenses. [Note: if you already updated this section or some of the questions from this section, you may be on a summary screen and need to click 'Edit' next to the applicable 'Occupation']
