It depends.  If you work for somebody else, and you get W-2 wages, you cannot.  If you are self employed, yes you can.

However, Your job-related expenses may still be allowed on your state return. Enter your expenses and we’ll figure out if you can deduct them.

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.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you live in a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return  to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses
