If your pay is reported on form W-2, you will not be able to deduct your automobile expenses.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated virtually all unreimbursed work-related expenses (travel, tools and supplies, uniforms, etc.) for W-2 wage earners. It also eliminated tax return preparation fees, investment advisory fees, union dues, home office expenses, etc.
However, if you as an independent contractor, and your earnings are reported on Form 1099-MISC, your car expense and all other work-related expenses can still be deducted on Schedule C.
