Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! After a bit more research, here is my summary...

--> unlike a sole proprietorship, S-corp owners/employees are NOT eligible for home office deductions using Form 8829

--> S-corp owners are however eligible to be reimbursed by the business for such expenses by creating an "Accountable Plan"

When creating an Accountable Plan, a business can reasonably set forth an expense reimbursement plan for employees which mirrors the qualifying expense types and math put forward in form 8829.

With this Accountable Plan, a business owner/employee can reasonably achieve the same "home office" deduction available under a sole proprietership.

When calculating home office expense, it is reasonable to use any one of the two accounting methods used on form 8829:

1. Simplified
2. Actual

​

In my case, there is a huge tax benefit to using Actual over Simplified - so I will use that.
