Working in the transportation industry refers to whether your work hours are limited by Department of Transportation regulations. For example, truck drivers can only drive for a certain period before taking a break.

If you have no government limits, answer No.

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.
