with you work as an "employee" receiving a W-2, and they are not
reimbursed to you, then you can deduct them as an Unreimbursed Employee
Business Form 2106. It goes on Schedule A Itemized Deductions in
the Misc section subject to a 2% of Adjusted Gross Income threshold. If
you don't itemize, then deducting them won't benefit you. You can try it
both ways and see which works out better for you. The software will do
the work for you.
