I have to pay to park my car at our city office 2/3x a week, would this count as a Employment exspense for my taxes?

I’m a hybrid employee who commutes into the city 2/3x a week and I have to pay $20 each day to park my car in the parking garage next to our office building.

If you are a W2 employee sorry you can no longer deduct expenses. And commuting has never been deductible.

No.

The costs of commuting to and from work are not deductible. And if you are a W-2 employee, you cannot deduct any job-related expenses on a federal tax return.

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.
