Work From Home Detailed Method 2023 tax year

[dinodaan]

Not sure if this is relevant, but my employer is not a GST/HST registrant so I can't claim those expenses.

When filling out the Work-Space-In-The-Home-Expenses, you have to enter Expenses which you incurred for the entire home or the office space.
When selecting electricty for example, on the right side, there are 3 options: GST taxable / HST taxable / Zero Rated or Exempt.

I want to claim electricy/water/heat & rent. Which of these 3 fields should I fill out?

 

[TurboTaxGinette]

You will enter the one you paid for yourself. If your bill had GST included in the amount paid, you choose that one or HST, etc. 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

When I enter my rent, do I enter it under other - Rent 

then the dollar amount under Zero Rated and Exempt?

Also can I claim my phone bill?

[TurboTaxSusan]

Yes, your rent is exempt if it is for a long-term residential unit.

If your employer requires you to pay for phone expenses, you may be able to claim those expenses.

Do we enter the total rent and total of a service bill in the field, or the percentage calculation of worked time etc.? In other words, as we’ve entered in our number of work hours and the number of rooms, does TurboTax have the calculation built in already?

[TurboTaxSusan]

@Vanillabn Under "Expenses which you incurred for the entire home" you would put the total amount for the full home. TurboTax will do the rest of the calculations.

[Vanillabn]

Ok, thanks! I had done the percentage calculation from my total rent, and when reviewing at the end, I thought ‘waaaaait a minute!’ That should make a difference to include the full annual rent.

[Vanillabn]

As I read further, my expenses are to go on line 22900, using the T777 to calculate them, as my employer provided the t2200. Do you know where that line is in TurboTax?

[TurboTaxSusan]

@Vanillabn 

You can see line 22900 on your detailed tax summary.
