No. As a W-2 employee, there is currently no deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses. That deduction was suspended by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for tax years 2018 - 2025. Prior to 2018, an employee could deduct unreimbursed job expenses to the extent these expenses, along with certain other miscellaneous expenses, were more than 2% of their adjusted gross income. You had to itemize your deductions (as opposed to taking the standard deduction) to deduct these expenses. Under current law, the deduction will return for tax year 2026.
