As an employee, you may be able to deduct certain unreimbursed expenses that the IRS considers "ordinary and necessary" to do your job. That would include things like:

Union dues
Tools
Dues or subscriptions to professional societies
Licenses
Travel and meals for business, including DOT per diem
Home office
Excess educator expenses
Education that either maintains or improves job skills or is required to keep your salary or job.

However, employees can't deduct mileage or commuting costs between their home and main workplace.

Job-related expenses aren't fully deductible as they're subject to the 2% rule. (What is the 2% rule?)

So if I am a W2 employee that works from home, I can still write off my office space as a tax deduction? If I take a client to lunch or a dinner function, I can still write that off too?
