I have tax return questions

[k_tennis5]

Where do I enter information about National Boards Teacher Component Purchases and Cohort program purchases? Are those tax deductible?? I spent $1050 last year on National Boards exams and $400 last year on the Cohort preparation courses. Thanks

Were you already working as a teacher when you took the course and the exams?

If your employer did not reimburse you for these costs, they're deductible as job-related expenses.  This is a miscellaneous deduction, and is subject to a 2% adjusted gross income threshold.  For example, if your adjusted gross income is $30,000, only your miscellaneous deductions over $600 are deductible.

You can enter these expenses in TurboTax under Federal Tax>Deductions & Credits>Job-Related Expenses.
