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.
If you elect to itemize, you must use IRS Form 1040 to file your taxes and attach Schedule A. 1  On Schedule A, report the total medical expenses you paid during the year on line 1 and your adjusted gross income (from line 38 of your Form 1040) on line 2.  Enter 10% of your adjusted gross income on line 3.
