I had to work from home due to COVID and there was supposed to be a $2/day claim for this. I didn't find it anywhere when I did my return. Can I still claim it?

Yes, you can make changes to a filed tax return by filing an adjustment. You will need to wait until you’ve received your Notice of Assessment (NOA), then you can amend and claim the Employment Expenses for working at home due to COVID. You can claim $2 for each day that you worked at home during that period, plus any other days you worked at home in 2020 due to COVID-19, up to a maximum of $400. 

 

The way you file your adjustment depends on how your original tax return was filed, and whether it was a federal or Québec return. Please click the below link for the instructions on filing adjustments for both scenarios:
