As a social worker, I work remotely 90% of the time and need a computer to assist my clients obtaining employement and researching services that they may need. I also would use this for my work research and documentation. Can this work expense be written off as my employer has not offered any assistance with this.

This would be an Misc itemized deduction for an unreirmbursed employee business expense, subject to a 2% of AGI floor.

You may also be eligible for a home office deduction. See this:
