Can I deduct the renewal of my professional license?
Yes.
If you are an employee (W-2) it would be deducted on your schedule A as a job expense.
If you are self-employed, it is reported and deducted on your schedule C.

I entered the fee for my social worker license and it came up as an item to fix when I ran the check. Is this license renewal no longer deductible as the list below was taken from the TurboTax info box as the only deductible professional licenses??

Can I deduct the renewal of my professional license?
Deductions for unreimbursed job expenses were eliminated by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Your license renewal is no longer deductible if you are a W2 employee.
