You can deduct motels for work related overnight travel.

Tools and boots (if required for your job) are deductible-the only clothes you can deduct are those that cannot be worn socially such as a work uniform.

Uber and Lyft rides to work and back home are considered commuting expenses, and are not deductible although travel expenses between work locations are deductible.

You can enter employee expenses in the below area:
