It depends on your tax status and your state, not just on the fact that you work from home two days a week.

If you’re a W-2 employee, you generally cannot deduct home internet on your federal return just because you use it for work. For employees, whether any reimbursement or expense rule applies can depend on your state and your employer’s policies, and those rules vary by state.

If you’re self-employed or an independent contractor, you can usually deduct the business-use portion of your internet bill, as long as you can reasonably support how you calculated the work-use share.

So the short answer is: working from home two days a week does not automatically let you claim home internet. If you want the most accurate answer for your situation, check the current tax rules for your state and, if needed, ask a CPA or tax preparer.
