Remote work and expenses

[acclark2013]

I recently took a job that is classified with the company as remote work/work from home.  On occasion, I have to travel to the office for meetings.  Is the mileage I travel to/from the office deductible?

Employee business expenses are no longer deductible on your federal return.

Employee job related expenses

However, if your state allows you to itemize, you may be able to claim a deduction on the state return. 

Enter all of your information in the federal section to ensure it gets pulled into your state return. 

1. Go to the Federal section of the program
2. Go to Deductions & Credits 
3. Under All breaks, select Employment Expenses 
4. Select Job Expenses for W-2 Income 
5. On the next page, you should see a page titled Review your job-related expenses info.
6. Review your input if needed.
