I M IN SALES AND DO NOT GET REIMBURSED FOR MILES, SOME FOOD, EQUIPMENT AND HOME OFFICE I FILLED OUT INFO FOR FOR FORM 2106 BUT I DIDNT GET THE EXPENSE. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG
You are probably not doing anything wrong.
If you are an employee receiving a W-2, then employee business expenses would be claimed on Form 2106. However, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was passed in late 2017 suspended the employee business expense deduction for the tax years 2018 through 2025 except for certain specific types of employees (such as armed forces reservists for example).
You are still able to enter the information into your return (even though it does not affect your Federal return) because certain states do still allow a deduction for employee business expenses.
(The question that was answered above was brought over to this forum from the previous format -- it was probably asked prior to 2019 when the deduction was still in place. The 2019 date pertains to when the information was imported into this format.)
