Q. Can I deduct my nursing uniforms and shoes as well as my continuing education expenses to get a bigger return?
A. No.
Starting in 2018, employees (W-2 recipients) are no longer able to deduct any job expenses.
Deductions on the state return may be allowed in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA. If so, this will come up in the state interview, in TurboTax.
Even in the "old days" , job expenses were only a misc. itemized deduction. You only got to deduct that portion of your misc. itemized deductions that exceeded 2% of your AGI, and then only if your total itemized deductions exceeded the standard deduction (which was doubled under the 2018 tax law. . (2% rule explained: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2902781-what-is-the-2-rule ).
