- Follow the guide and answer the questions. The program will ask you about things like mileage expenses and home office expenses first, but then it will ask about other possible job related expenses and you will be able to add these into this section
However, please note that actually deducting employee related business expenses can be difficult as you will have to meet the 2% floor. Under the 2% rule, you're only allowed to deduct the portion of miscellaneous expenses that exceeds 2% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). You must also itemize to get this deduction.
