I am a truck driver and I get paid by w2 but my employer doesn't pay any per diem rates because we do that on our taxes. Where can I enter that information?

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses .  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a 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.
