    You employer must have a "Non-Accountable Plan".

    https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/non-accountab...

    In previous years, employees could take a tax deduction on their tax return for these items.  However, this deduction was eliminated in the new tax law.

    Talk to your employer about switching to an Accountable Plan.

    EDIT:  Yes.  I understand that.  However, if your employer has a Non-Accountable plan, the reimbursement is subject to tax.
