As an employee, you may be able to deduct certain unreimbursed expenses that the IRS considers "ordinary and necessary" to do your job. That would include things like:
Union dues
Tools
Dues or subscriptions to professional societies
Licenses
Travel and meals for business, including DOT per diem
Home office
Excess educator expenses
Education that either maintains or improves job skills or is required to keep your salary or job
However, employees can't deduct mileage or commuting costs between their home and main workplace.
Job-related expenses aren't fully deductible as they're subject to the 2% rule.
