Same answer as on the other forum.

Form 2106 for employee business expenses is invalid for 2018. TCJA 2017 did away with them for most folks.

At least over here you can't hand out no votes because you don't like the answer.

Miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to 2% AGI limit are no longer allowed for 2018 tax returns.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Though the IRS has done away with this deduciton, many states have not. So you need to be sure to get the input done for the purposes of determining state itemized deductions. I have not done any yet (focused on Business Returns), but this was made clear in the tax reform training I have completed. You might backtrack from the State Forms, or simply input directly and bypass 2106 (Sch A Scr 25 in Lacerte).
