W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Your state laws might be different.

If you're a W-2 employee, you can't deduct unreimbursed job expenses

  • Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017, the deduction for these 2% miscellaneous expenses has been suspended in tax years 2018 through 2025.

However, this doesn’t affect:

  • People who work in one of these specific professions or situations
    • Armed Forces reservist
    • Qualified performing artist
    • Fee-basis state or local government official
    • You're disabled and have impairment-related expenses

However, your job-related expenses may still be allowed on your state return. Enter your expenses and we’ll figure out if you can deduct them.
