Does working from home entitle you to a tax break?

Description

Abstract: This year, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, more people worked at home than ever before. As 2020 draws to a close, many employees may be wondering whether any of the expenses they incurred to work at home qualify for tax breaks. The short answer is “no,” remote employees can’t deduct the cost of working at home. This article explains why it may be possible to achieve a similar result if an employer pays or reimburses employees for these expenses.
