In general, this deduction is no longer available for W-2 employees. Therefore, you will not see a change to your Federal refund.
The business deductions on Form 2106 are allowed for Armed Forces reservist, a qualified performing artist, a fee-basis state or local government official, or an individual with a disability claiming impairment-related work expenses. All other taxpayers can no longer deduct these expenses beginning in tax year 2018. However, some states still allow the deduction. You would enter these expenses on your Federal return to carry to the state.
To try to delete, follow these steps:
- Under the Federal menu, choose Deductions & Credits
- Expand the menu for Employment Expenses
- Click Start/Revisit next to Job Expenses for W-2 Income
- You should be able to delete any information entered and then return to this area to re-enter the deductions that will apply to your state return.
