According to TurboTax, "The federal government continues to support working Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the tax year 2021, the CRA has increased the claim amount for the work-from-home tax credit to $500 with the flat rate method, which allows Canadians working from home due to COVID-19 to deduct home office expenses on their taxes".

 

Below are steps to enter work from home expenses manually: -

  • First of all, Click on the "Find" (Magnifying Glass) option on your tax file in TurboTax Online
  • Type "Work", and click on "GO"
  • Select "YES", and on the next page select "T2200S - Declaration of Conditions of Employment for Working at Home Due to COVID-19"
  • Then, answer a few questions at the bottom, and click "Continue"
  • On the next page, a select the method for expense calculation purposes (The flat rate method is preferred by most the people)
