I entered over $14,000 home office expenses and my owed federal tax amount did not change. Why?

[stennett99]

I work for a large IT company, but I have to pay for my home office expenses, i.e. phone, internet connection, and some travel expenses.  I entered over $14,000.00 in expenses and my owed federal tax amount did not change.  Why?

Do you get W2 income or 1099Misc self employment income?

If you are a W-2 employee, your job-related expenses are no longer deductible on your federal return under the new tax law.
