Unfortunately, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act removed the deductibility of employee business expenses until 2025 at least.  So, on your federal return you can't take a deduction for these expenses.

 

If you live in one of these states, though - Alabama, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Minnesota, New York or Pennsylvania - then you can deduct your expenses on your state tax return.  TurboTax will walk you through entering the deduction.
