Yes, you may take the home office
deduction because you pay rent for the space and have a designated area used
solely for work. See Business Use
of Home Office for additional information.

I take it I would need some form of rent receipt to safely take this deduction? I've only been making direct deposits into my parents' bank account.

Yes. You should get a receipt from your parents.

What if you lived with your parent, but didn't pay rent exclusively, instead you paid all utilities. Nothing in the home was your name, but you do have proof of what you paid. Can you claim this still?
