You can’t on w-2

I'm not sure last time you pages thru the tax code bible, but there is a lot of room for interpretation. The scope of work I signed up for as a W2 did not include working from home. Therefore, I am renting my company space in my house and can write that off all day long.

I think you can as a contractor not employee, may depend on the tax laws in your state, and you only claim a % of your home office

With the Tax & Jobs Act, W2s cannot. You need to be a 1099 / sole prop / etc.

Who says that you can't do two jobs at once? You can work from home at your W2 and be a 1099 consultant at the same time. There is no law that says you have to make money to be a consultant.

SE1, who would you claim your client was as a sole proprietor? You’d have to show some P&L if you’re audited what would the profits be

New this year, no. In 2019 and before you could, but Congress eliminates misc business expenses.

It must be your primary place of business. That might be true for a dozen people here, but you aren’t one of them. Merely working at hone is insufficient.

I’ve worked from home for 13 years and it never really has netted me almost any benefit to do it
