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

Open (continue) your return in TurboTax.
(To do this, sign in to TurboTax and click the orange Take me to my return button.)
In the search box, search for 2106 and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
At the Tell us about the occupation you have expenses for screen, enter your occupation.
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.

It is very difficult to qualify for this deduction. That's because the expense limit is so high. In order to qualify, your job-related expenses must be more than 2% of your AGI (adjusted gross income).

Example: If your AGI is $40,000, your expenses would have to be more than $800 ($40,000 x 2%). Even then, you could only deduct the amount over $800. So, if your job-related expenses were $1,000 you could only deduct $200 ($1,000 - $800).
