Tax Checksdeductions

Can I still claim the home office deduction?

Pandemic rules no longer apply.

Is this you?

  • I worked from home
  • I claimed or planned to claim a flat amount
  • My employer situation changed

"I can just claim the $500 flat rate like before."

The temporary flat-rate method has ended. You now need a signed T2200 and detailed calculations.

Why guessing is risky

  • Unsupported claims are denied during review
  • Denied deductions increase tax later
  • Missing forms weaken appeals

Safe to ignore if

  • I didn't claim home office expenses
  • I have a signed T2200

Stop and check if

  • I claimed a flat amount
  • I don't have employer documentation
