Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is possible for a taxpayer to use both Form 2106 and Schedule A to report work-related expenses, but only if the expenses meet certain criteria. Specifically, they must be considered "miscellaneous itemized deductions" under the tax code, which also includes expenses such as tax preparation fees and investment-related costs. However, it's important to note that miscellaneous itemized deductions are subject to a 2% of adjusted gross income (AGI) floor, which means that only expenses that exceed this threshold can be deducted. Additionally, the tax reform bill passed in 2017 eliminated the ability to claim miscellaneous itemized deductions for tax years 2018-2025, so this may not be an option for some taxpayers.
