We are married filing jointly but half-way through 2022, spouse's work moved her to a location 165 miles from home. We rented an apartment there for her to stay during week and especially when weather is bad/roads closed (we're in North Dakota). We have a primary home(also rental with utilities etc) where I work full-time.
Can we deduct any of the expenses of renting in this new location? We are both FT W2 employees.
No. Sorry.
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.
