Suppose that I work at a company which allows me to work from home. I
must, however, buy some IT infrastructure, among other things. Also,
I must pay the utility bills, electricity, etc. to be able to work
from home.

How much can I deduct for my taxes given this? Do I deduct my
electricity, cable internet, hardware that I bought, and heat/cooling
bills? All these things directly helped me in my work.

Deduct everything, put your dog down as a dependent too. See you in
cell block 17.

Almost sounds like a Motel 6 advertisement: "... and we'll keep the toilet
seat warm for ya."
