-W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN,
NY
or PA.
Thanks, but i am aware I cannot get this deduction on my federal return. Last year I was able to declare these expenses and they were reflected in my NY State return. I am having trouble this year in finding where I need to declare, specifically where i declare expenses related to my working from my home office.
