As per Intuit Turbotax, In 2021, the number of Canadians earning employment income while working at home increased substantially, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the Canadian government has provided two temporary and simplified methods for claiming an employment expense deduction:
- Option 1 (or the flat-rate method), allows a qualified individual to claim $2/day in employment expenses, up to a max of $400.
- Option 2 (or the detailed method), allows deduction of actual expenses incurred.
