You are absolutely right, I found this on the IT-196 instructions:
List any of the additional adjustments below that apply to you on a separate piece of paper marked Itemized deduction schedule-addition adjustments with your name(s) and social security number(s). Identify the amount of each adjustment that applies to you by letter (H, I, J, and K). Add all of your addition adjustments and enter the total on line 44. Submit that paper with your Form IT-196
... Amount of disallowed union dues included on the Unreimbursed employee business expenses worksheet, line 4, that were subject to the 2% miscellaneous itemized deduction floor.

In the Desktop Version, you can input this information manually by going to Forms mode, Open Form, and typing in "Oth Add Adj" into the search bar. You can put the amount that you've calculated from the IT-196 instructions, page 21. It will transfer to Line 44 automatically. You could also prepare a page with the adjustments, as mentioned above, but you would have to mail in your return to claim it.
