Thank you for the reply. I should have mentioned I live in Alaska so we do not file state taxes.
Since Alaska does not have state taxes, you will lose the deductions, unfortunately.
Due to the new tax law change the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, ( TCJA), for 2018 through 2025, Congress suspends all miscellaneous itemized deductions ( Form 2106) that are subject to the 2 percent of adjusted gross income floor. This change affects un-reimbursed employee expenses such as job related travels, uniforms, union dues and the deduction for business-related meals and entertainment. You will not be able to deduct any unreimbursed employee expenses on your 2019 tax return.
