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.

The form is still valid and should be completed because it will carry to any non-adopting states.

In ProSeries on the 2106 there is a Form 2106, Part 1 Smart Worksheet at the top. Question C will determine where the 2106 information flows. C1-C4 would impact the Federal Schedule A. C5 (Miscellaneous 2% Itemized Deduction STATE ONLY) would be for states that still allow the deductions but would not impact the Federal worksheets.

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).
