You are correct, you are talking about apples and oranges. No, expenses an employee incurs doing their jobs are no longer tax deductible. If you receive a W2 you can no longer deduct your home office expenses, your uniform costs, your business mileage or multiple other expenses. These were all reported on Schedule A. Multiple expenses on Schedule A are disallowed through 2025.
However, if you are an employer, you can still deduct the expenses for your employees, this includes wages, salaries, mileage reimbursement, health insurance costs, etc. The deductions on a Schedule C or a business return did not change. This is where these costs would be reported.
The OP appears to be an employer trying to deduct the expenses of their employee, not an employee trying to deduct their own expenses.
