You are not allowed to deduct employee vehicle expenses on your federal return in 2024, except in very limited circumstances. This assumes your income is reported on a W-2 form, as opposed to a Form 1099-NEC. You can learn more from this TurboTax article.

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
