1. Is it correct only self-employee can request deduction for a cost for business such as laptop and travel expenses?
2. right now, I got my w2 and my boss is paying a half of the rent as I came to LA for work. When he process payroll, he adds reimbursement for the rent every month and he told me that I don’t have to file taxes for the reimbursement. Is it correct?
also, he told me he would reimburse taxi expenses to commute to work later. Is it okay not to file All the reimbursement?
3. if I get around $100 for federal income withheld tax on my w2 form, I would most likely to pay more taxes? My last year income was around 20k.
4. My boss recommended me to input like $2000 on 3 of Step 3 on w4 to reduce tax for my payroll. So I did last year. Is it okay to do that? I am a single.
thank you so much for your help...
