Question

I'm a teacher, been working from home since3/20. I invested a lot of money in setting it up a classroom at home. Does it qualify under the "home office summary" page?

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct expenses for working from home.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different.

Do make sure you are using your educator deduction:

 

TEACHER EXPENSES

Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Teacher (Educator) Expenses
