If you are an employee who receives a W-2 from your employer then your employee business expenses cannot be deducted on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.

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.
