April brings numbers, receipts, and the quiet suspicion that money slipped through the cracks somewhere. Remote work opened doors to flexibility and freedom, yet it also created a long list of potential tax deductions that many people never claim.

A closer look at overlooked deductions can shrink a tax bill and reward the effort that goes into building a productive home workspace.
