Remote work has radically changed our conception of “the office.” The Pew Research Center estimates that 14% of all employed adults over 18, or roughly 22 million people, are currently working from home all the time.
If you’re a remote worker filing your taxes, however, you might not be eligible to claim the home office deduction. The home office deduction allows eligible taxpayers to reduce their tax obligation by writing off their workspace as a legitimate business expense. In most cases, the home office deduction applies only to self-employed and independent contractors, not those under traditional contracts who are classified as remote employees.
