-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.

 

 

If you live in a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return  to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses

You can claim a deduction for an unreimbursed employee business expense by filing a PA Schedule UE, Allowable Employee Business Expenses form along with your PA-40 Personal Income Tax Return.

 

Generally, expenses that may qualify for an itemized deduction include:

  1. Travel and mileage
  2. Certain mobile phone uses
  3. Uniforms (required by the employer that are not suitable for street wear.)
  4. Small tools
  5. Office supplies
  6. Professional license fees
  7. Some moving expenses
  8. Certain educational costs
  9. Union dues, agency fees or initiation fees

PA Department Of Revenue

 

As xmasbaby0 mentioned, the information will flow to PA return when you enter your expenses on your federal return.
