Employers' Reimbursements. If your employer offers you a reimbursement plan for your business expenses, you must apply for reimbursement within a reasonable time, and you can only deduct the unreimbursed portion on your taxes.
Employers do not have to reimburse an employee's out-of-pocket business-related expenses; however, the employee must be allowed to deduct unreimbursed business expenses as itemized deductions. Most employers reimburse such expenses pursuant to a written policy - see below. Careful with minimum wage issues! Do not force employees to pay business costs if it takes them below minimum wage (see Deductions for Other Costs to the Employer in the article The Texas Payday Law - Basic Issues for details)
