Deduction questions rental income, sales tax, job expenses from W-2

1. I work in WA state as a Software Engineer and occurred a lot of unreimbursed job expenses. I thought the Job Expenses for W-2 Income deduction was removed since 2018, so why do I see this section under Deductions & Credits?

 

I own a rental property. 

2. Which fields in Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E) do I enter Condo HOA Fees, Appreciation, and Depreciation expenses?

3. If I already entered Real Estate taxes and Mortgage Interest from Form 1098 in Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E) under Wages & Income, do I need to enter those again in Property (Real Estate) Taxes and Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098) sections under Deductions & Credits (which both show a Not Started status) or areProperty (Real Estate) Taxes and Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098) sections under Deductions & Credits only for personal property, not rental property?

 

4. If I made major purchases in WA state in 2019, at what point is it wiser for me itemize all the purchases to calculate the maximum amount of sales tax I can deduct?
