If you're an employee in your first responder position, these expenses are no longer tax-deductible on your federal return.

Job-related expenses for employees are no longer deductible under the new tax law.  Please see the TurboTax FAQ "Can employees deduct any job-related expenses?" below for more information.

Due to being a W-2 employee this no longer is a deduction with the changes to tax law starting with 2018.
