If you're a W-2 employee, you can't deduct unreimbursed job expenses
- Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017, the deduction for these 2% miscellaneous expenses has been suspended in tax years 2018 through 2025.
However, this doesn’t affect:
- People who work in one of these specific professions or situations
- Armed Forces reservist
- Qualified performing artist
- Fee-basis state or local government official
- You're disabled and have impairment-related expenses
However, your job-related expenses may still be allowed on your state return. Enter your expenses and we’ll figure out if you can deduct them.
