Safety equipment, small tools, and supplies needed for your job.

Uniforms required by your employer that are not suitable for ordinary wear.

Protective clothing required in your work, such as hard hats, safety shoes, and glasses.

Nope, I wasn't able to claim them. Now I'm going to call my accountant and ask why because I can't remember.

I should get thousands more than I usually do, then.

Every movie with Toothy Cruise blows, with the exception of Risky Business and Legend. He's the cinematic equivalent of wet crackers.

It could be you did not have enough to meet the percentage cut off point. In other words, your deductions have to a certain percentage of the AGI or you lose them. That happens to me every year. In other words, although my Bar memberships, etc., are deductable, I cannot take the deduction from my 1040 because I do not have enough of them. Oh the IRS!!!!!!!!
