While Congress has made some changes in tax law due to the coronavirus, home office deductions and other miscellaneous itemized deductions were not included in recent legislation.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore,\u00a0you\u00a0probably won\u2019t\u00a0be able to claim\u00a0any recent\u00a0costs incurred from setting up or maintaining your home office. That is \u2014 unless you fall into one of the groups below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q1. Who can take a home office deduction or claim home office expenses? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are two situations where you might be able to take the home office deduction or claim home office expenses.\u00a0 If you are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/how-to-know-if-youre-an-employee-or-a-contractor\/\">independent contractor<\/a> or self-employed, you\u2019ll be able to claim the home office deduction.

But are these \u201coffices\u201d deductible?<\/p>\n<p>For your home office to be deductible, you must:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Use part of your home regularly and exclusively for work<\/li>\n<li>Conduct\u00a0most\u00a0business from your home office<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To meet the exclusive use requirement, you must use a designated area in your home for business, and business only.

Your home office might be the principal place of business, a place you meet patients, customers, or clients, or a separate structure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3.
