What expenses are deductible from earned income on the return?

The only expenses that can be deducted from earned income as an individual are those reported on Line 26 of Federal Schedule A - Itemized Deductions. These pertain to unreimbursed business expenses incurred as an employee. (You may not use the amount on Federal Form 2106 since the Federal limitations do apply). This deduction only applies if the original local taxes were paid to Trenton.
