The Daily Money
 
Tuesday, February 16

Good morning, Daily Money subscribers, it's Nathan Bomey on this wicked weather Tuesday. I'm thankful to have power this morning. I'm also hoping you're safe and you get reconnected quickly if you've been affected by this wintry blast.

On to our ...

INSIGHT OF THE DAY: Hoping to write off the investment you made in your home office to work remotely during the pandemic? I'm afraid those hopes are futile. People who receive a W-2 tax form from their employers aren't eligible for a home-office deduction, Aimee Picchi reports.

What else is happening today:

1. Should you do your own taxes? It's the age-old question at this time of the year. Chances are you've got more time than usual, so maybe you should? Or maybe that advice is way too simplified. Don't listen to me. Check out these tips instead.

2. Who among us hasn't experienced a rude boss? (Dear current boss, I swear I'm not talking about you.) Here's advice on whether to tell HR.

3. Buy cheese lately? A listeria outbreak possibly linked to fresh and soft cheeses has sickened seven people in four states, Kelly Tyko reports. Don't miss the details here.

4. This just in. Hotel chain Marriott announced this morning that CEO Arne Sorenson died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Our condolences to his family and friends.

More news below.
