I work for a company in the UK but currently live and work remotely in the US as an independent and I have some questions in regards to that.

So here are some questions that I have about everything: When putting in your foreign income, is it supposed to be listed only under the Misc. section or does it need to in another section too? Also, I was trying to do a deduction in the "Home Office" form under "Income

I work for a company in the UK but currently live and work remotely in the US as an independent and I have some questions in regards to that.

If you live and work within the United States, the income you made is not considered as foreign income although the company is located overseas.  If you did not receive a W-2 or other tax forms, in the program, you would enter under "Other Income".  You might need to file a Form 8919 and SS-8.  Here are the steps:

 

 

In TurboTax online, 

  • Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • To the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "other reportable income" and Enter
  • Select Jump to other reportable income
  • Next screen, Other Wages Received, select Yes to continue
  • Follow prompts 

 If you work as an employee, you cannot take the home office deduction.  

 

Due to the Tax Cuts and Job Acts (TCJA) tax reform, as a salaried employee, you can no longer deduct any unreimbursed employee expenses including home office deductions.  Prior to the TCJA tax reform passed in 2017, employees could deduct unreimbursed employee business expenses, which included the home office deduction. However, for tax years 2018 through 2025, the itemized deduction for employee business expenses has been eliminated.
