Only if it was a temporary work location. If this is a temporary job that is expected to last for less than one
year, you may be able to deduct the expenses.
"Travel expenses paid or incurred in connection with a temporary
work assignment away from home are deductible. However, travel expenses paid in
connection with an indefinite work assignment are not deductible. Any work
assignment in excess of one year is considered indefinite. Also, you may not
deduct travel expenses at a work location if it is realistically expected that
you will work there for more than one year, whether or not you actually work
there that long. If you realistically expect to work at a temporary location
for one year or less, and the expectation changes so that at some point you
realistically expect to work there for more than one year, travel expenses
become nondeductible when your expectation changes."
If you are an employee receiving a
W-2, they would be Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses that goes onto
Schedule A Itemized Deductions. If you don't normally itemize and use the
Standard Deduction, then it may not benefit you unless your expenses are high
enough. Also, only the amount over 2% of your Adjusted Gross income
will go onto the Schedule A.
