**The CRA has now released the 2022 Forms, which will be available with the 10.8.2 release!**
The CRA has new T2200S form for the 2022 tax year for employees claiming home office expenses. Employees are eligible if:
They worked from home as a result of COVID-19. This is whether working form home was voluntary or mandatory.
They worked at home at least 50% of the time for a period of 4-weeks or longer.
You haven’t already reimburse your employees for their expenses.
Additional Information
Employees using the flat rate method of $2 a day up to the maximum of $500 don’t need a T2200S. Only employee calculating their office expenses using the detailed method need to request a T2200S.
