Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In response to the @Faragone issue, since the expense reimbursement was reported on a form 1099-MISC, the correct way to deduct the expenses would be to treat the reimbursement as self-employment income, which would allow you to deduct the expenses. If the reimbursement was more that the expenses, it will be treated as self-employment income, subject to self-employment tax in addition to income tax.

 

If your employer has an accountability plan, however, and you complied with it by providing receipts for your expenses, they should have not reported the reimbursement, which would have saved you the expense of having to use TurboTax self-employed software to account for it.
