I traveled for work (miles/tolls) and did not get reimbursed. I learned later that my company should have reimbursed me, but it is no too late. Can I claim the expense?

Yes, you can enter that unreimbursed employee/job expense using the directions below:

Please note that these expenses are only deductible if you itemize your deductions and to the extent they exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income. 

Job-related expenses are reported on Form 2106 (Employee Business Expenses).  

  1. Type 2106 into your Search Box inside your TurboTax program.  

  2. Click the Jump to 2106 link in the search results. 

  3. At the Tell us about the occupation you have expenses for screen, enter your occupation.  

  4. Click Continue, and follow the onscreen instructions.  

If you land on the Job-Related Expenses Summary screen instead, you can either Edit expenses for an existing job or click Add Another Occupation to enter expenses for a new one.
