I tried going through Job-Related Expenses under Deduction I tried to follow the questions at one point Turbotax said I should show it as expense and doesn't move forward as to how to show it as an expense it's like a loop that takes me back to the same questions....thoughts on how to move forward and how to show it as expenses or if there is a better way to get credit?

if you get a w-2, there is no home-office deduction available.  it's only for the self-employed.

Sorry if you are a W-2 employee you cannot deduct job-related expenses from your federal tax 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.
