Where do I claim my employment expenses in TurboTax Online?

by TurboTax Updated 1 week ago

If you're a salaried or commissioned employee who had to work from home 50% or more of the time for at least four consecutive weeks due to COVID-19, then you're eligible to claim home office expenses on your 2020, 2021 or 2022 tax return.

To claim employment expenses, complete these instructions:

  1. Select Find (or the magnifying glass icon) from the TurboTax menu.
  2. In the Find window, type employment.
  3. Select Employment Expenses from the list of results, then select Go.
  4. On the Employment Expenses step, select Yes.
  5. On the Employment Expense Profile step, make the selection that best applies to your situation, then select Continue.
  6. Follow the instructions that appear on-screen to enter your expenses.
  7. You've finished the expenses section when you reach the Your Employment Profile step.

Note: To claim this deduction (line 22900 of your tax return), you must qualify under the new COVID rules, OR have a signed T2200 from your employer showing the conditions of your employment. Don’t file the T2200 with your return but do keep a copy for your records. See Employment Expenses During the COVID-19 Pandemic for more information.
