According to this Turbo Tax trusted source, you can claim this by going through these steps in your return.
- Go to federal>deductions and credits>other deductions and credits
- Other Deductible Expenses>start
- Say no to the first two questions that appear on the screen. Scroll until:
- You reach a screen that says: Did you have any of these other expenses?
- Select Claim of right repayment over $3,000
- In the next screen, you will select Claim of right repayment over $3,000 and record the amount.
Please note this is an itemized deduction so if you have other itemized deductions in your return that offset your standard deduction, you will see a difference in your return. If it doesn't make a difference, it means you may not have enough itemize deductions that will offset your standard deduction reported in your return.
