Can I do a basic return if I am employed but want to write off work expenses? For example: uniform, i have to pay half of the credit card fee. 2.5% of the total 5%.

If you are an employee who receives a W-2 then none of your employee business expenses are deductible on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.

Depending on your state laws, it may not be allowed for an employer to require employees to pay for their own uniforms or other gear, but you would have to check with your state labor department on that.
