Remember just one little quirk to the law.  If your employer would have
reimbursed you for your expenses if you had submitted them, you may not
write them off.  For example, if your company reimburses employees for
mileage, but you don't file the required forms to get reimbursed, you cannot
deduct the mileage from your own taxes.  I think that stinks, because I
never submit those stupid mileage reimbursement forms.  My fault, I guess.
