No---- W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal tax return.
Sorry---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
We do not know what you mean when you refer to "my insurance business" -- and "run a non-profit" so you need to clarify. If you are self-employed for those sources of income then you will have to use the correct software and prepare a Schedule C for the expenses related to self-employent income only---not for your W-2 income.
