How to Deduct Unreimbursed Business Expenses Without Itemizing
Recent tax law changes have gutted many itemized deductions. State and local taxes are limited starting with tax year 2018. What many people are forgetting is that certain miscellaneous deductions and job expenses are also no longer deductible.
Schedule A has suffered many changes. Miscellaneous deductions, subject to 2%, are eliminated. Common deductions in this area include tax preparation fees, safe deposit box fee, legal expenses to protect income, certain job related expenses and unreimbursed employee business expenses.
