Job Related Expenses for Employees are deductible as an Itemized Deduction that is reported with Schedule A. This deduction is a Miscellaneous Deduction that is subject to the 2% of AGI floor. This rule states that only the amount of these deductions that are above 2% of your AGI will be considered Deductible on your return. These Expenses are reported with Form 2106.
Itemized Deductions reported in Schedule A are the counterpart to the Standard Deduction. If the sum of your Itemized deductions does not exceed the amount of your Standard Deduction, Schedule A will not be beneficial to your Tax Return.
