Home and business vs deluxe

past years i have done home and business due to being a 1099 ind contractor for a company.  i dont know if i am still on their list as an employee,  i havent spoken with them all year and did not receive any work from them, but i did purchase items to assist in the work should i have received it.  should i still do the business home version so i can write off the items i purchased since they were solely for that employment
