Claim for home expenses

If I use your service, will my fee paid to you be deducted to the return and is there a guarantee I will get paid back for the home expenses? I do have a receipt for my laptop and printer, including measurements of the office space which is separate from the house (attached to the garage). I pay a bond for the house, rates and services. I am not sure how to calculate other things like my garden and the helper fees.
