I've read you can't take a home office deduction. But are there any deductions I can take? like Internet, Phone office supplies etc. I work from home 98% of the time.

Are you a W-2 employee?

Sorry---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.

If you are an employee who receives a W-2 from your employer then none of your employee business expenses are deductible on a federal tax return. This is due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.
