In order to claim Home Office Expenses, you will need a completed and signed T2200 - Declaration of Conditions of Employment stating that you must perform 50% or more of your duties from your home.

There are different deductions available for Salaried Employees and Commission Employees which can be found in this CRA guide: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/t4044/employment-expenses-2016.html#P338_27786

Would the standard package offers the support to claim home office expenses for employed users?
