Beginning in tax year 2018, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses which includes travel expenses incurred for your job, as an itemized deduction.

- parking fees
- tolls
- transportation (taxis and shuttles)
- lodging
- airplane travel
- rental car
- meals and entertainment
