It sounds like these are your employee job expenses. It also sounds like you may have been in this section, but needed to keep going past assets because all of the employee job expenses are entered in one series of questions.
Follow the instructions below to enter these:
- Login and click Take me to my return
- Select the Federal Taxes tab and then click the Deductions & Credit tab below it
- Scroll down to the Employee Expenses section and click the blue hyperlink Show more
- Click Start or Revisit next to Job Expenses for W-2
- Next, you'll be asked about your 'occupation'. If you've already updated this section or added some job expenses, you may be on a summary screen and need to click 'Edit' next to the applicable 'Occupation'.
- This section will ask about all employee job expenses and you'll need to answer through these questions until you come to the applicable expense category for your industry. On the last screen, you can enter miscellaneous items, including the expense description and amount.
This deduction is limited (by 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income - AGI a subtotal on your tax return) and part of the itemized deductions, so it can be difficult to see a result from entering small amounts and you must itemize to get any benefit.
