Can confirm.

But I don't think that yet applies to remote workers for established companies with offices?

I know contractors and self-run businesses qualify—but I'm not sure if the rest of us do just yet.

There are many expenses you can use as tax deductions as an independent contractor that you cannot if you are an independent contributor within a company.

Hadn't thought at all about the insurance implications. Gross...

I am not an accountant and my understanding is that home office deduction in the US may be harder than in the past (and it's long been a red flag according to my tax guy.) However, I would think that the question isn't so much whether your company has offices but whether you're officially assigned to come into one of those offices whether or not you typically do.

I know if I ever wanted to take this deduction--which is probably not worth it for me--I'd have to get my office status officially changed.
