Overview
The Working From Home (WFH) Allowance screen allows you to track the hours you’ve worked from home each month. This information is used to calculate your eligible working from home tax relief.
This screen is only used if you’re using Simplified Expenses.
Adding a New Record
- Click “Add new” button at the top of the screen
- Select the month from the dropdown calendar
- Enter the total hours worked from home for that month
- Must be a whole number (no decimals)
- Must be 0 or greater
- Click “Save” to record your hours
Important Notes:
- You can only have one entry per month
- If you try to add hours for a month that already has an entry, the system will update the existing record instead of creating a duplicate
Understanding the Table
The table displays:
- Month: The month and year (e.g., “April 2025”)
- Hours: Total hours worked from home that month
- Actions: Delete button to archive the record
Common Questions
Q: What counts as “working from home”? A: Hours spent working from your designated home office or workspace. Commuting time and non-work activities don’t count.
Q: Can I enter hours for multiple months at once? A: No, you need to add each month separately using the “Add new” button.
Q: I made a mistake – how do I fix it? A: Simply add a new record for the same month with the correct hours, and it will update automatically.
