You can only deduct your work expenses on your federal tax return if you are an independent contractor, in other words your income is reported to you on a form 1099-MISC, as opposed to a W-2 form. However, if your W-2 form has box 13 checked for "Statutory Employee" then you could deduct your work related expenses.
Some states do allow you to continue to deduct your work expenses, however, so you should enter them in TurboTax if that applies in your state.
The new rules went into affect in 2018 and are set to expire in 2025.
