You would have to show how that is a usual and customary deduction for the production of income in your occupation.

No. This is not required for you to do your job.

To be able to deduct an expense must be "ordinary and necessary." Otherwise, it can't be deducted.

No.

In general, taxpayers may deduct ordinary and necessary expenses incurred in conducting a trade
or business. An ordinary expense is an expense that is common and accepted in the taxpayer’s
trade or business. A necessary expense is one that is appropriate for the business.
