Due to the COVID Pandemic I have been required to work from home.  Is there any credits or deductions that can be taken for the extra heat, electricity, WiFi etc?

As an employee, you cannot deduct any job-related expenses.

 

Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the itemized deductions for job-related expenses subject to the 2% of AGI floor are suspended for expenses incurred after December 31, 2017 through 2025.

State taxes may be different.

It makes up for the GAS you are not using, the wear and tear on the car and the laundry you didn't need to use if you could stay in your PJs all day.
