My employer pays mileage but not tolls. Can I deduct tolls?

Are tolls deductible if not paid for by employer?

My employer pays mileage but not tolls. Can I deduct tolls?

Tolls are not deductible if you are an employee and receive your income report on a W-2. 

 

The federal return no longer allows a deduction for employee business expenses. There are a few states that still allow these deductions. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania all provide a deduction for unreimbursed employee business expenses on their respective state income tax returns.

 

If you live in one of the states that still allow employee business expenses as a deduction, you would enter this in the federal return, and the information will be transferred to your state return.

 

Here's how to enter the information:

  • Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
  • Click on Deductions and Credits
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Employment Expenses
  • On Job-Related Expenses, click on the start/update button
  • Once in this section, you can enter union dues and any other employee expenses.
