If you are self-employed then your home office expenses go on your Schedule C with any of your other business expenses.

If you are a W-2 employee ("I started working for a company.....") then you cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal tax return.

W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.
