Deductions & credits

Miscellaneous deductions subject to the 2% limit, including unreimbursed job expenses (reported on Form 2106) have been repealed for tax years 2018 – 2025. Since you are now a W-2 employee you will not be able to deduct any of your physician related expenses in 2018.  

Self-employed (Schedule C) filers can still deduct these business-related expenses, as they have in the past. The repeal of unreimbursed work-related deductions only affects wage- and salary-earning employees who don’t own a business or work as a contractor. 

If you do some self-employment work in 2019, you will be able to write off these expenses on your 2019 income tax return.
