Any chance you are still a minor (or have special circumstance that you are over age 18 but your father is still your legal guardian)?
If not, I suspect you probably want to take the Simplified Method for the Home Office deduction.
You can only deduct expenses that YOU pay. You can not deduct expenses that your father pays, even if he is not deducting them on his tax return (unless you are a minor).
