I work as an licensed insurance agent at home, my broker/employer sent a W-2 form for my taxes. can I deduct the home office and related expenses emp is out of state.

Since you are a W-2 employee you cannot deduct any employee business expenses, including a home office, on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.

Can I deduct job-related expenses on my 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.
