Continuing education as a tax deduction - how do I do it?

[kristinizzle]

Hi there, I'm trying to add continuing education as a tax deduction in my personal taxes. How do I do this?

If you are an employee and you pay for your own continuing education, you would report the expense as an unreimbursed employee business expense on Schedule A.

To report those amounts:

• Log in to your return
• Click on Federal Taxes
• Click on Deductions and Credits
• Scroll to Employment Expenses
• Click on Show more if needed
• Click on the button beside Job Expenses for W-2 Income

Look at the following for further information.  Within the information, you can click on "Where do I enter my job-related employee expenses? (Form 2106)
