What this tool can tell you

Most U.S. employees cannot claim a federal miscellaneous itemized deduction for unreimbursed work expenses. Self-employed and limited employee categories may have different rules.

Important: This is a general educational planning tool, not payroll, tax, benefits, employment, investment, or legal advice. It does not create an entitlement, determine classification or enforceability, calculate a filing position, or replace current government guidance, plan documents, written agreements, or qualified advice for your facts and jurisdiction.

Primary reference: IRS Publication 463. Rules, rates, programs, thresholds, and forms can change; verify them before acting.
