I've just been hired full time at a firm I used to independently consult at. As a sole proprietor, I'm used to writing off my home office space, various software subscriptions, equipment, web hosting, phone, internet, etc.

Now that I've been hired full time, and though I still have to incur the same costs (still working from my home office, still need the software in question), can I no longer write these expenses off? Or should it be normally expected that my full time employer would cover or reimburse these costs?

I will also still be doing some side freelance work for other clients, as an independent contractor - so does that mean I can apply my expenses against that "other" income?

I know that's a few questions - but I'm just starting to wonder if accepting the full time position might actually end up having more cons than pros.

Thanks!
