Deductions & credits

The deduction for job related expenses has been suspended through 2025.  However, some states still allow the deduction.  You should still enter the deduction as explained earlier and if your state is one of those states, you could get the state deduction.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TJCA) was signed into law in 2017. 

These are work-related expenses you paid out of your own pocket and include travel, transportation, meals, union and professional dues, business liability insurance, depreciation on office equipment, work-related education, home office expenses, costs of looking for a new job, legal fees, work clothes, and uniforms. All of these are gone. Your best recourse is to ask your employer to reimburse you for these expenses. The reimbursement will be tax-free. You could also ask for a pay raise, but that would be taxable.
