Just to confirm, you are really an employee (you get a W-2)?
The IRS says,
"
Taxpayers can no longer claim unreimbursed employee expenses as miscellaneous itemized deductions, unless they are a qualified employee or an eligible educator. They must complete Form 2106, Employee Business Expenses, to take the deduction.
If someone falls into one of these employment categories, they are considered a qualified employee:
- Armed Forces reservists
- Qualified performing artists
- Fee-basis state or local government officials
- Employees with impairment-related work expenses
No other type of employee is eligible to claim a deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses.
"
If you are not one of these four types of employees, you can't deduct unreimbursed employee business expenses.
