Remote work

[maggie842]

I started a new job this year. I work remotely (not my own business). Are there any deductions I can use on my tax return?

Sounds like you are a W-2 employee working at home.  

In 2018 tax laws changed and eliminated most of the employee business expenses.  

There are a few areas of employment where the employee can still deduct certain expenses.  These are:

• Armed Forces reservists
• Qualified performing artists
• Fee-basis state or local government officials
• Employees with impairment-related work expenses
