Employees who incur job-related expenses can potentially deduct those costs on their federal tax returns. Except, of course, it's never that easy. Job-related expenses are miscellaneous deductions. That means you have to itemize to claim them instead of claiming the standard deduction for your filing status.
You should itemize deductions if your allowable itemized deductions are greater than your standard deduction or if you must itemize deductions because you cannot use the standard deduction. You may be able to reduce your tax by itemizing deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF). Itemized deductions include amounts you paid for state and local income or sales taxes, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, mortgage interest, and disaster losses. You may also include gifts to charity and part of the amount you paid for medical and dental expenses.
