Suzann, generally no. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also suspends all miscellaneous itemized deductions that are subject to the 2% AGI, such as unreimbursed employee expenses & mileage, except in narrow situations.

As Lisa points out, some States that do not Conform to the TCJA may still allow an Itemized Deduction, so be sure to input in the tax return and check.   Thanks for joining our Community!
