Hello DB1990,
Thank you so much for being here today!
There was a time before 2018, where you could deduct Unreimbursed work expenses on Schedule A if your itemized deductions were higher then your standard deduction.
But The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) ended many itemized deductions, deduction for unreimbursed employee business expenses, when it was signed into law in December 2017. The TCJA eliminates the deduction for unreimbursed employee business expenses for tax years 2018 through 2025.
Some states still allow for unreimbursed work expenses, and you can itemize on the state even though you took the standard deduction on the federal. What state are you in? I can verify, if you state has income tax, if they allow that deduction or not.
Thanks again for participating and feel free to respond if you have any additional questions.
