The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act took away pretty much all "Unreimbursed Employee Expenses" deductions for most classes of employees. Thanks, Obama. Err, Trump.

We generally do alright but these are unusual circumstances. I'm sure I'll hit a breaking point eventually and move my office to a room that gives me more isolation from everyone else.

You may want to consider getting a business license for your side gig as a "consultant" then if the employer deduction isn't tickling your fancy.
