Yes, Hawaii does allow unreimbursed employee expenses to be itemized on her Hawaii state return providing she is able to claim itemized deductions in Hawaii.
The good news is that you can claim a standard deduction on the federal return and claim Hawaii itemized deductions. You will need to complete the Itemized Deductions section of the federal return so the information will flow to the Hawaii return. In the deductions and credits section of your federal return, you will see an employment expenses section listed. Then go to job related expenses.
If you are unable to itemize deductions, there are no COVID-19 special deductions or credits for teaching remotely thus there are no other ways of claiming these expenses.
