Home office deduction still $5 per sq ft after all these years?

Congress is responsible for setting up these rules and not adjusting them for inflation.

Getting the 435 House reps and 100 senators (maybe the VP) to agree on inflation-adjusting them is where you’d need to start.

It’s tough to see how anyone can really qualify for this deduction with how strict it is. I’ve got a full room set up as an office with a copier, computer, printers, monitors, you name it.

But according to the rules, I can’t even sit in there and browse online for personal stuff at all.
