  (4) You must calculate your employment-use amount.
 
  Example of how to calculate your employment-use amount (line 48)  
 
  You are a salaried employee who worked from home using your dining room table. The dining room represents 12% of the
total square footage of your house and is used for work for 40 hours out of a total 168 hours in the week.

You paid $2,400 for electricity, heat, water and Internet, and $12,000 for rent. You enter $2,400 on line 42, $12,000
on line 46, and $14,400 on line 47.

To determine your employment-use amount, you must first calculate your employment-use percentage as follows:
(40 hours ÷ 168 hours) x 12% = 2.9%

Your employment-use amount is $14,400 from line 47:
($2,400 + $12,000) x 2.9% = $417.60

Enter $417.60 on line 48
