Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Because employees can no longer deduct work related expenses on their personal tax return, the only way you can handle this to get a tax benefit is to use an accountable plan to reimburse yourself.

The reimbursement is not taxable income to the employee and is not included on the W-2.  Whether the expenses are then deductible business expenses by the corporation is covered under the rules mentioned by the other expert answer.
