Where would I claim the COVID $400 flat rate home expense? I was told it was line Line 22900, but where is that in the software?

Expenses related to a home workspace can be included on line 22900 but there are considerations to review with the new allowances and possibilities available due to Covid 19 this year. 

 

Here are Canada Revenue Agency links with information regarding:

Employment Expenses 2020 

CRA  Eligibility criteria - Temporary flat rate method 

 

Note: If using the form method, one of the forms required is the T777S-Statement of Employment Expenses for Working at Home Due to COVID-19. For the flat rate method to be activated in TurboTax Online, you enter your T4 and scroll down to the bottom where you will be asked about working from home. You will then go answer questions under employment expenses.

 

If using TurboTax CD/Download please see our link below for guidance.

Where do I claim my employment expenses in the CD/download edition of TurboTax?
