In December 2017, Congress passed a tax reform bill which included the suspension of several federal deductions for tax years 2018–2025. The federal deduction of Job Related Expenses on Form 2106 was included in those suspended. So, your co-workers may have used this deduction to deduct mileage for travel between worksites, in the past, but now cannot on the federal return unless you work in one of these specific professions or situations:
- Armed Forces reservist
- Qualified performing artist
- Fee-basis state or local government official
- You're disabled and have impairment-related expenses
Some states still do allow the deduction. The information is entered in the federal return so that it flows to the state return but it does not change the deductions on the federal return itself. So if you are itemizing deductions, you may still benefit from this on your state return.
