Deductions & credits

You are correct. Job-related expenses for employees are no longer deductible on most people’s federal return in tax years 2018 through 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress passed and the President signed into law on December 22, 2017.

 

The job-related expenses deduction is only available to people who work in one of these specific professions or situations:

  • Armed Forces reservist
  • Qualified performing artist
  • Fee-basis state or local government official
  • You're disabled and have impairment-related expenses

Lastly, unreimbursed employee expenses are not deductible on your Indiana state return. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania are the only states that provide a deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses.
