Wi-Fi hotspot usage due to health

Because of a health problem, my company lets me work full time from home. Since both verizon and comcast do not operate in my area, I am forced to us Wi-Fi hotspots as my internet access. Also, since my connect speed must of a high level, the hotspots only allow so much data usage before they slow down, so I to use multiple hotspots to do my work. The cost each month is exceptional. I was wondering if I can deduct the cost of the hotspots and what form this deduction would be on. Thanks for anyone's reply.

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct expenses for working from home.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different.
