Quick question—are home office expenses still tax deductible in 2025? I’ve heard the rules changed during the pandemic, but I’m not sure what applies now. Has anyone recently claimed this deduction, and what are the current guidelines?

Yes, in 2025 home office expenses are still deductible, but only for self-employed individuals or business owners who use the space exclusively for work. Employees working from home cannot claim this deduction.

Yes, home office expenses remain tax-deductible in 2025 if you meet IRS requirements. To qualify, the space must be used exclusively and regularly for work purposes. Eligible deductions include a portion of rent, utilities, internet, office supplies, and depreciation. Self-employed individuals and remote workers should maintain detailed records to claim these deductions during tax filing.

Yes! If you’re self-employed, you can still deduct home office expenses in 2025. You can write off a part of your rent, utilities, and stuff like that—but only if you use a space in your home just for work.If you’re an employee, unfortunately, you can’t deduct home office costs anymore.

Want me to explain how to calculate the deduction?
