Itemized deductions, choosing

[jaysonbowers90]

Based on the 2% rule, I can claim 726$ from a 36300 agi. When i input all of the costs into the job related expenses, why am i not seeing a difference on my totaled federal tax return?

Are your total itemized deductions more than the Standard deduction?

And you only get a deduction for the job expense amount that is in excess of $726. So, a $750 job expense only gives you a $24 deduction..
