It is important to note that under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, taxpayers cannot claim a miscellaneous itemized deduction for unreimbursed employee (W-2) travel expenses. Taxpayers also cannot claim a deduction for moving expenses incurred after December 31, 2017 at the federal level, except members of the Armed Forces on active duty moving under orders to a permanent change of station. Some non-conforming states still allow for this deduction.
