For authority showing the deductions are no longer allowed see page 7 of https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5307.pdf
which says (emphasis added)
Miscellaneous itemized deductions suspended.
The previous deduction for job-related expenses or other miscellaneous itemized deductions that exceeded
2 percent of your adjusted gross income is suspended. This includes unreimbursed employee expenses such
as uniforms, union dues and the deduction for business-related meals, entertainment and travel, as well as
any deductions you may have previously been able to claim for tax preparation fees and investment expenses,
including investment management fees, safe deposit box fees and investment expenses from pass-through
entities. The business standard mileage rate cannot be used to claim an itemized deduction for unreimbursed
employee travel expenses during the suspension.
THIS MEANS THAT…if you do itemize…if your miscellaneous itemized deductions previously needed to exceed
2% of your adjusted gross income, they are no longer deductible.
