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're self-employed, you can write off business expenses. As an employee, you can itemize unreimbursed work expenses, after subtracting 2 percent of your adjusted gross income from the total. There's no absolute maximum for how much you can write off if you don't have receipts to prove your deductions.
