I've been working from home full-time since 2024 and I'm trying to figure out what I can actually deduct on my taxes this year. Last year my accountant said the home office deduction rules changed, but I'm not sure if that applies to my situation or if there are any new limits I should know about.
talk to a tax professional or check the irs website directly because home office deduction rules shift regularly and what applied last year might not be exact for 2026. the two main methods are the simplified approach (fixed rate per square foot) and the actual expense method (tracking utilities, rent, depreciation, etc.), but qualification rules and phase-outs can change year to year. since you've been doing this full-time since 2024, you'll want to confirm whether your situation qualifies under current rules and which method gives you the better deduction - a good accountant is worth the fee for getting this right.
