Deductions & credits
You say your wife has a "work from home" job--but you did not mention whether she will receive a W-2 or if she is an independent contractor who will be reporting self-employment income. If she is a W-2 employee, she cannot deduct job-related expenses on your federal tax return. If she is an independent contractor then her business expenses are entered on a Schedule C.
-W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.
