The question is deducting expenses in this line of work not expenses specifically for those W-2. You can do something and get W-2, 1099 and cash. Those are different income possibilities. The expenses you had in the year are $1000. Only $200 are relayed to the W-2. The other $800 are for the other gigs you did NOT get W-2 for. In this specific year I didn’t have those 1099/cash income but I still had the $800 expenses. I change in the law is about deducting expenses for W-2 wages and not about deducting all expenses of line of work.  ... View more

Let’s assume I didn’t have ANY income this year but only expenses. Can I write them off somewhere? I wrote them off last year when I created new line of work on turbo tax. If I am doing the same this year turbo tax still deduct those expenses from my total income. Can I continue doing it? Again, those are not related only to the W-2 specific gigs.  Those are regular expenses I have yearly for this line of work.  ... View more
