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.
The IRS lets you take either the standard deduction or the itemized deduction. If you itemize (about 1/3 of all taxpayer do), we'll automatically fill out Schedule A, Itemized Deductions and switch you over to the 1040 long form. Schedule A lets you report certain deductible expenses like: 1  Medical and dental costs above and beyond 10% of your AGI (or 7.5% if you or your jointly-filing spouse are 65 or older) 2  State, local, real estate, and personal property taxes. 3  Home mortgage interest and PMI. 4  Charitable donations and gifts. 5  Casualty or theft losses.
