If you're self-employed, then you would list tools in the Expenses section of Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business) or Schedule C-EZ (Net Profit from Business). If you're an employee, then the amount would be included on line 21 Unreimbursed employee expenses in the Job Expenses and Certain Miscellaneous Deductions Section of Schedule A (Itemized Deductions). The amount of expenses entered in the Job Expenses Section of Schedule A is totalled. Then only the amount of that total that exceeds 2 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI) on line 38 of Form 1040 is deductible.
