<prompt> Human: Can I still do this? I remember I spent about 75 on the boots. I still have the boots and the box, but I paid in cash and I dont have the receipt any more. Am I going to risk the IRS coming after me if I try to do this? If thats the case Id rather just not worry about writing this off as a work-related expense since it might be more hassle than its worth in the long run. Thanks! quick edit As of a couple months ago I buy everything with credit cards now so I wont have this problem in the future, but when I bought the boots all I had was cash. Assistant: You can only deduct unreimbursed employee expenses to the extent they exceed two percent of your AGI, along with other misc expenses Human: Sorry, could you explain what you mean by to the extent they exceed two percent of your AGI, along with other misc expenses ? All I know is the boots cost about 75 and I made about 880 at that job didnt work there long, found better work pretty fast. Ive never filed taxes before so this is all 100 new to me. Assistant: If you got a W-2 I wouldnt worry entering it because of that AGI limitation. If you got a 1099, enter it as an expense on your Schedule C.Human: I did indeed get a W-2 from that job. I dont have any 1099. I have two W-2 I had two different jobs in 2016 and one 1095-B. Could you elaborate on the AGI limitation? Ive never heard of that. Ill Google it too, but if you could explain it in your own words it would be really helpful. Thank you!  <response>: Simply put, you wont get to deduct any work-related expenses unless they are greater than 2 of your income adjusted gross income. And you need to itemize as well which you probably wont be doing if its your first time filing.
