My W2 expenses were about half of my income from W2's. Why didn't I receive any refunded amount for these expenses?

First, commuting expenses are not deductible.

Second, only the amount of qualifying expenses that is in excess of 2% of AGI qualifies as an itemized deduction.

Third, your total itemizeds must be more than the Standard deduction.
