Q. How can I claim the expenses, such a rent or laptop, or even travel expenses if I have spent it for work?
A. Starting in 2018, employees (W-2 recipients) are no longer able to deduct any job expenses.
Even in the "old days" , job expenses were only a misc. itemized deduction. You only got to deduct that portion of your misc. itemized deductions that exceeded 2% of your AGI, and then only if your total itemized deductions exceeded the standard deduction (which was doubled under the 2018 tax law.
If you are self employed, enter as "other expenses" in the business income/expenses section of TT
