That 2% stuff was only applicable to job-related expenses before 2018 on federal returns. The tax law changed for 2018 and W-2 employees cannot get any federal deduction for job-related expenses. Only certain states (AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA) still allow job-related expenses for W-2 employees.
Sorry---your daughter has a tough job on her feet all day, and had expenses. But the expenses are not deductible.
