Hi! I work for a doctor's office that requires us to purchase our own scrubs and use our own personal cell phones for work. I'm sure where to deduct these.

Under Job-expenses for W2, it's sounds like I should have another W2 for this, which I do not, so I think I may be posting this to the wrong area.

Only the amount of job-related expenses that are OVER 2% of your adjusted gross income get added to your list of itemized deductions, which still must exceed your standard deduction in order to make a difference on your return.  This is kind of a hard deduction to get.  If you need to enter these, go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses.
