If you get a w-2 the answer is no for federal income tax purposes. however, some states do allow a deduction for these expenses. they would be entered through the federal schedule A as job related expenses. if you get a 1099-NEC (or 1099-MISC) you report your income and those expenses on Schedule C.

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.
