Hello, I was overpayed by the military and I payed it all back. I received a notice from DFAS saying, " if the amount you repaid was less than $3000, you may be able to itemize  deductions and claim the repaid amount as a miscellaneous deduction". Where do I enter this or the amount?

To report the repayment of taxable income as an itemized deduction on Schedule A -

• Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
• Click on Deductions and Credits
• Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
• Scroll down to Other Deductions and Credits
• On Other Deductible Expenses, click on the start or update button

On the next screen, click on No (Generation Skipping Taxes)

On the next screen, click on Yes (Less Common Expenses)

On the next screen, enter the amount repaid.  Continue with this section until it completes.

Or enter other deductions in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to other deductions
