To take the employee  home office deduction , you would require at least TurboTax Deluxe (Online) or any version of TurboTax Desktop because in order to take this deduction, you would have to itemize (Schedule A)

Please note:   Job-related expenses   aren't fully deductible as they're subject to the   2% rule.

I have worked from home 100% in 2021 - due to covid.   How can I take office expenses since I worked from this office 6 days a week with desk  computer. printer and office material + using a portion of in house expenses such as gas heat, electric, - wifi, internet, cell phone & office phone  + square footage in my home.  I bought turbo tax deluxe and it did not take me to any of the above.
