Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Sorry, last update. I found the answer. Pasted it below -----
If the Army moves me away from my family but does not pay to move my wife and kids, is mileage to visit them tax deductible?
Yes, but not exactly to visit them. You are on a temporaray job assignment. The trips from your home to the temporary job site and back are deductible as an employee expense.

You are allowed to deduct your mileage (54 cents for 2016) and other job expenses. TurboTax completes form  2106, which  then carries to Misc itemized deductions on Schedule A. The problem with this is that you only get to deduct that portion of  your misc deductions that exceed 2% of your AGI. and then only if your total  itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction.  (2% rule explained: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2902781-what-is-the-2-rule">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2902...>)
