Get Turbo TAX it will walk you right through it. Plus they give tax advice if needed. basically you are looking for the non reinbursed business deductions section on the fed tax form--Tiurbo Tax has a specific section questions and answers---you do not need an accountant unless you have extreem financial investment holdings

Yeah, try and use turbo tax and it will tell you what you can deduct.

but if you are a w-2 employee, chances are you won't be able to deduct as much as if you were a full commission.

If you are w-2 they should pull your taxes out already. so you don't need to do anything special

Just the standard taxes like everyone else. you are an employee so you can't claim any self employed deductions
