Work expenses I've been compensated for

I spend about $10 - 13k a year on work related expenses, taxis (non communting), office supplies, the occasional flight. I get paid back what I claim each month in my salary I see it on my pay check but I do not see this total on my W2. Should I be reporting this under Job related expenses too?

Work expenses I've been compensated for

If you are being reimbursed in full for all of your business expenses, you shouldn't claim them on your tax return. If you only get reimbursed for part of the expenses, you would reduce the amount that you claim by the amount of reimbursement, since it's not on your W-2 as income. As you go through the Employee Business Expense section, you will reach a screen that asks if you received any reimbursements. See the screenshot below.
