Unreimbursed employee expenses are no longer deductible for federal purposes, but are deductible on the California income tax return. The expenses must be larger than 2% of your federal adjusted gross income (AGI) to count towards your California deductions.
California allows taxpayers to deduct the larger of the state standard deduction or itemized deductions. TurboTax will give you the larger deduction so enter all your expenses in Deductions & Credits.
