FYI, that’s mostly a myth. Taking “home office” deductions has VERY strict rules. Most people working from home don’t qualify and what can be deducted is very limited in scope.
You’re not wrong, even including what was available it still wasn’t anywhere near enough to make itemized deduction a reasonable option. I mentioned the plumbing mostly because I thought it was funny that it was actually included in the list of valid deductible expenses for maintaining a home office.
