Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, not if you are an employee.  The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) eliminated the employee business expense for tax years 2018-2125, with a few exceptions.

  • Armed Forces reservists
  • Qualified performing artists
  • Fee-basis state or local government officials
  • Employees with impairment-related work expenses

No other type of employee is eligible to claim a deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses.

If you are self employed then you are allowed to take a home office deduction, if it qualifies,  for that income only.
