Deductions & credits

Are you a W-2 employee?  You are not asking your question from Self-Employed.

 

Can I deduct job-related expenses on my tax return?

 

 

Sorry---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.
