Some states may not conform and still allow those deductions, like California, so you should still keep track of them!

That is correct. Job-related expenses for W-2 employees are eliminated as a deduction on your federal return. You might want to discuss this with the employer.

If you are a self-employed independent contractor/sole proprietor, Yes.
If you are an employee, No.
