If you are a W-2 employee, working for a contractor, and had to travel for your W-2 job for 2020, then you need to ask your employer to reimburse you for your travel expenses because they are no longer deductible on Schedule A subject to 2% agi for W-2 employees (not since tax year 2018 returns).
For additional information, please refer to the following link:
w-2 employees can no longer deduct travel expense on Sch A
Also remember, W-2 employees can no longer deduct any unreimbursed travel expenses. That deduction was eliminated in the tax reform act of 2018. A W-2 employee can list the expenses and they might flow through to the state return for a state deduction, depending on your situation, but they don't qualify for a federal deduction.
