So i keyed in my out of town work expenses.  I meet all the criteria and even have a six month contract as proof.  I keyed in the right place for temp work expenses.  It changed nothing my deductions include all but these exspenses.  Any idea what i need to do?


If you are an employee who receives a W-2 for your wages, then employee business expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.

 

If you are a self-employed independent contractor/sole proprietor then you should be entering your self-employment income and expenses on Schedule C which is part of and included with your personal tax return, Form 1040.
