Please do not post your phone number in the public user forum.  No one here can call you, but scammers and would-be identity thieves can see your number here and call pretending to be from TurboTax.  It has been removed for your security.

The IRS is asking:

“Provide more information on how you calculated $10,022.00 on line 21, Schedule A.”

Thank You,

Line 21 is unreimbursed employee expenses.    You would have entered that under Deductions & Credits, Employment Expenses, Job Related Expenses.

The IRS is questioning what you entered there.    What job related expenses did you have that totaled $10,022?

Sounds like the IRS is looking for proof (receipts, etc.)
