It depends on whether or not your employer has an
accountable (that's a term of art, there) reimbursement
plan. If so, you don't. If he doesn't, you do.

Possibly. It depends on how the reimbursment plan is set up.

If one includes the reimbursment in income, one deducts the
expenses. If one doesn't include the reimbursment, no
deduction. It is not proper to ignore the reimbursment AND
deduct the reimbursed expenses. [I assumed that the
reimbursment exactly equalled the expenses.]

Default Expenses reimbursed by an employer

Do I need to declare as income on my federal / state tax
returns, money that is refunded to me by my employer in
respect of business expenses that I have incurred and paid
for out of my pocket on behalf of the employer?

Cheers
