Assuming that you are California residents, your wife is eligible to deduct unreimbursed employee expenses.
If you live in one of the states that still allow employee business expenses as a deduction, you would enter this in the federal return, and the information will be transferred to your state return.
Here's how to enter the information:
- Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
- Click on Deductions and Credits
- Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
- Scroll down to Employment Expenses
- On Job-Related Expenses, click on the start/update button
- Once in this section, you can enter union dues and any other employee expenses.
