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.
Medical expenses are deductible as itemized deductions, but in a very limited way. You can only deduct the amount of medical expenses that exceed your AGI by 7.5 percent. For example, if your AGI was $50,000 and you spent $4,000 in medical expenses during the year, you could only deduct $250 ($50,000 * .075 = $3,750). If your itemized deductions are less than $6,200 for 2014, you should take the standard deduction. 2  If you cannot itemize, you might be able to file a form 1040-EZ which is a shorter and simpler version of the traditional 1040 form. 3  You may also be able to file your federal tax return using TubroTax absolutely free.
