Deductions & credits

Not for federal, but possibly for state. Federal tax law no longer allows a deduction for employee business expenses.

 

Some states allow a deduction. Enter those expenses in Deductions & Credits. If they are eligible for a state tax deduction, TurboTax will move them to your state return.
