Is this sentence wrong?
I got corrected when I said this today. "I'll do it when I come home".
The correct sentence was supposedly "i'll do it when I get home"
Was what I was saying today grammatically wrong?

No, the grammar is correct. But in a context like yours, there are a lot of subtleties of meaning to consider, mostly involving where the speaker is and where the listener is, and where they each live . Clive

0"I'll do it when I come home". This sounds like the persion you are talking to is in your home, eg your husband or wife.
"I'll do it when I get home". This doesn't have the above implication. So say it this way.
