Client worked from home for the entire year during the pandemic. Are there any credits allowed

for extra expenses incurred while working from home ( electricity,phone usage etc).

Thank You

There might be, but I think you have to subtract all of the cost savings they had by not having to travel to the office each day, as well as the savings on lunches, clothes, etc

for a W2 employee? Not for federal. Your state may still allow misc itemized deductions.

Pandemic wasn't the entire year for 2020. Started during March

But home offices and other W-2 job expenses have not been allowed at the federal level since 2018. They didn't change it back for 2020. At the state level, some states still allow the job expenses. Basically if they allowed them before 2018, they still allow them now. For example, NY does. NJ didn't before, so they don't now

Thank You for your response

They don't have a home office, only used it during the pandemic 11 months. I do realize that

the 2106 is no longer allowed. Was checking to see if there was anything new because of covid.

I will look into the state for credits if any.

"Was checking to see if there was anything new because of covid."

They should find out if the employer will participate in An Accountable Plan.
