Try it. If you have a partner/spouse/kids/roommates who also WFH or learn from home it’s gonna be noisy and you’ll need headphones

I never said they would or wouldn’t care. I just said they’re not the most forgiving.

We could. We were given a flat dollar amount and were told we could put it towards furniture or technology, including AirPods

Say you need them to protect private company information. When we started WFH, my company stressed taking calls away from people in your home and screens with private info out of view. I think you could expense it if you live with other people, the same way you'd expense a screen protector at the office if you're good at framing it? My company bought me noise cancelling headphones of their choice when I requested, but they were still pretty nice wireless over the ear ones.

We were given a stipend to spend to WFH technology, supplies, and furniture. And it even stated that headphones, monitors, desks, chairs, etc. are allowed. I guess it depends on the company.

No. You have a salary and can use it for what you want

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

My client told me today about a product where you poop on a stick and mail it in for diagnostics. I don't think it was a metaphor for the slides I was presenting.💩
