If I work from home 3-4 days for the rest of the year, do I have a legitimate claim to home office deduction? If yes, does anyone have advice on how to go about preparing for the eventual audit?

I thought the deduction was eliminated in Trumps tax scam overhaul?

I think the answer is no unless ur very far away from a office to work out of. If ur not out of range, then ur choosing to use your own house to work from and things like your desk, printer and wifi is a cost you are choosing to eat by not going to a office provided to you. Atleast that’s what my tax person said. But if u file yourself or get someone to look the other way and claim it. That’s on u lol

For instance, how would I document/demonstrate that I legitimately worked from home the days that I did? Anything else other than receipts that will help placate the IRS next year?

As SM1 said, that deduction went away during bs overhaul

I haven’t checked in the new tax law but you could only claim the home office deduction if using your home office was a condition of employment.

Home office deduction was removed with Trumps new tax plan
