Question

I was an over the road truck driver and my employer did not take out many taxes. Is this normal? Do I need to file deductions or something else?

I was told because I lived in my truck and not at home I was getting taxed less, but I do not know what to put on my return to counteract the minimal taxes withheld.

The IRS no longer allows employees to deduct work-related expenses so I am unsure why your employer said you would be taxed less by living in your truck.

Some states allow job-related expenses, If you file state returns and your state allows work-related deductions, TurboTax will carry those over to your state return, so enter your expenses in Deductions & Credits.
