Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I received a notice from the City I live in that I could either pay the City to complete the sidewalk repair or hire my own contractor.  For ease I decided to let the City due the work.  I received a bill and paid them for the work.  Since it was maintenance can I still deduct the expense?  If so, where do I list this expense in Turbotax as it wasn't part of my Property Taxes?


This post could be years old before Congress eliminated all  miscellaneous deductions.   Unless there is some state deduction, this cannot be claimed on a Federal tax return.
