If you are a W-2 wage employee then none of your employee business expenses are deductible on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes in effect for tax years 2018 thru 2025.

 

If you are an independent contractor, then you are self-employed and you should be entering your self-employment income and expenses on a Schedule C.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for a Schedule C - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/enter-schedule-c/L5Fz3j5us_US_en_US?uid=lvqvrqkr
