Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

And....you have not been very specific about what you are trying to deduct---there are business expenses you can put on a Schedule C for the self-employment, but you cannot double dip and try to use those same expenses for a W-2 job. Provide some details about the expenses you are using.
