I am on a hybrid work from home setup wherein I work half the time in office and half the time at home, and I just have a question about claiming work-related expenses. I am planning to buy a Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and Mousepad, and I already have a desk and chair bought that I want to claim as well. Could I claim all of those via the actual cost method because they're all below $300? I just wanted to make sure before I buy the monitor, keyboard, mouse and mousepad that I could claim each item. And also, the $300 below limit, is it for each individual item (e.g. monitor is $200, keyboard is $100, mouse is $50, mousepad is $20) I can claim all of those or is the $300 below limit for everything (which if that's the case I would go over $300 and would need to do the depreciating asset method?)
My employer only provides us our Mini PC to bring home to work so I need all of those equipment to fulfill my duties and earn my income.
