I need to add my work related expenses, I already sent my filing and got approved, but totally missed adding work expenses. I used Standard Deduction and need Itemized

What work expenses?   If you are a W-2 employee, job-related expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return.   If you are self-employed, your business expenses should have been entered on a Schedule C, not on Schedule A.    What are you trying to enter?

I guess I am mistaken, if it is not eligible, then that’s fine. Wasn’t sure if my work equipment, uniforms, etc. is not eligible. I work under an employer.

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you are preparing a return for a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return  to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses

Thanks, yes I’m in California, I need to change from Itemized to standard again, I ended up switching to itemized and it then increased my overall taxes and now I owe haha. But I need to put it back to standard, when I tried amending it. It won’t allow me to switch to standard anymore, but I did not send the amend, I canceled it, I’ll just stick with the return I am getting initially.
