Deductions & credits

@Hawaiiquestion0 waa The tax reform laws that went into effect for 2018 and beyond eliminated job-related expenses as a deduction for W-2 employees on federal returns.  There have been no new tax laws enacted to affect teachers as a special group during the pandemic.  You are still subject to the tax laws passed for 2018 and beyond.
