Why am I paying income tax on $1850 of job material costs?


The TAX on $1850 is $402.  That is why when you added the $1850 as a deduction, it saved you $402.

 

You don't really expect your taxes to be decreased by $1850 for $1850 of expenses, do you?  The government isn't paying 100% for your expenses.  You just don't pay TAX on that amount.
