I'm using TurboTax FreeFile Online Edition, and I really can't find a way to do this!
There is no 'Forms' view in this edition. There is a section on the Federal itemized deductions for Job-Related expenses, but Union Dues is not specifically listed and instead must be entered into a free-form textbox on the last screen for "Other Job-Related Expenses."
I'm aware the 2018 federal tax law changes eliminated the Union Dues miscellaneous itemized deduction (which was also subject to the 2% AGI limit). But New York not only did not adopt the federal tax law changes, not only now allows you itemize deductions on the state return even if you didn't, but it also added an itemized deduction "Addition Adjustment" on Form IT-196 Line 44 to get a deduction on the 2% AGI floor disallowed amount on 4 special categories of miscellaneous itemized deduction (which includes Union Dues)! However, it seems TurboTax FreeFile edition has no way to access this form to enter the amount.
Maybe I'm missing something? It seems TurboTax didn't make provisions for this special handling by NY.
