I am ready to finish my taxes, but it doesn't look like I received any credit for me working from home/home office, why?

[Ashby · Accepted solution]

Unfortunately, because of tax reform passed last year, only self-employed people can take the home office deduction.

Employees working from home can no longer take the home office deduction as of 2018 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was signed into law in December of 2017. Prior to that, employees who worked from home at the convenience of their employer were allowed to deduct home office expenses under the 2% rule.
