Unreimbursed employee expenses such as your license fee, continuing education, and union dues are no longer deductible on your federal tax return. Some states still allow this deduction.
Here’s how to enter your expenses:
- Type 2106 in Search (magnifying glass) in the top right corner
- Select Jump to 2106
TurboTax will carry any qualifying expenses to your state return.
If you're an eligible educator, you can deduct up to $300 ($600 if married filing jointly and both spouses are eligible educators, but not more than $300 each) of unreimbursed trade or business expenses.
Qualified expenses include purchases such as:
- Books and classroom supplies
- Technology and computer software used in the classroom during the process of teaching students
You also may be eligible to claim the Educator Expense Deduction for professional development courses related to teaching that were not reimbursed by your school or by another source.
