Temporary flat rate method for Home Office Expenses due to Covid 19 for Tax Year 2022

[Jeremy]

Greetings,

 

The CRA website states that the Temporary flat rate method for Home Office Expenses due to Covid 19 is available for tax year 2022, yet I can' find it within U file for 2022?

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/line-22900-other-employment-expenses/work-space-home-expenses/who-claim/temporary-flat-rate.html

All I can find is the detailed method for 2022 within Ufile.

Please advise, thanks,

Jeremy.

Hello Jeremy,

T777S - Simple Method:
You can claim $2 for each day that you worked at home during that period, plus any other days you worked at home in 2022 due to COVID-19.
 If you use this method, your employer is not required to complete Form T2200S,

Hi - do you know why Ufile show two boxes to input work expenses - temporary flat rate method?

Thanks,

Marco

Hello Marco Trejo,

There should only be one.  Please log out and log back in.  If issue persists ignore the second one.

I have the same issue with two sets of entry boxes, even after logging out and back in.

Entering values in both sections changes the final tax owing calculation. Dangerous!
