Deducting/writing off ipad

[Spsmith10]

Hi! I had a question regarding writing off or deducting for purchasing an iPad for work reasons at a company I’m employed at. The iPad is much more convenient for my employment and will be used 100% of the time for business use. Can I file a deduction in my taxes? Also I am not self-employed or own the company I work at. I am an employee. Hope that provides clarity

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 live in 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
