Employees who work from home are unable to take the home office deduction or any other unreimbursed employee business expenses on their federal tax return since 2018 when the Tax Cuts and Jos Act was implemented. You may be able to deduct unreimbursed employee business expenses on your state tax return depending on what state you live in. For your home office to be deductible, you must use the area regularly and exclusively for work and it must be your principal workplace. TurboTax is up to date with the individual state laws, so you just need to answer the interview questions and TurboTax will do the rest.

Not if you are an employee.
