I work from home but don't own a business. My company is located in Oklahoma. Can I still deduct home office space?

Yes. You can deduct home office expenses as an employee. Keep in mind, though, that your home office expense and other expenses related to W-2 income will only be deductible IF:

You itemize your deductions (Schedule A); AND
All of your unreimbursed employee business expenses and other miscellaneous itemized deductions added together are more than 2% of your AGI. [Only the amount over 2% AGI is deductible.]

Make sure you are making the entry for an Employee Home Office. Please follow these steps:

Click on Federal Taxes > Deductions & Credits [In TT Self-Employed: Personal > Deductions & Credits > I'll choose what I work on].
Scroll down to the Employment Expenses section and click on the Start/Revisit box next to Job Expenses for W-2 Income. [See Screenshot #1, below.)
On the Employment Expenses Related to a W-2 screen mark the Yes button and click Continue. [Screenshot #2)
On the screen Did you have any of these expenses in 2016? mark the appropriate button and click Continue. [Screenshot #3)
Continue through the screens, entering the requested information.
When you reach the screen, Did you have home office expenses? mark the Yes button and click Continue. [Screenshot #4)
On the following screens TurboTax will ask you information about your home and your home office and calculate the deduction.
