Due to COVID19 I have been working from home since March. Will I be able to deduct the cost of internet, electricity and phone from my taxes?

I am a W-2 employee.

Employee business expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.

No. W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. That has been the tax law beginning with 2018 returns. Your state may have different laws.
