TurboTax is constantly working to update software to make it easier to file your taxes. The needs review is a reminder that job-related expenses can not be claimed at the federal level. However, many states still allow job-related expenses, so entry is still available. See my post from above on Job-related expenses:
Job-related expenses for W-2 earners were removed from 2018 to 2025 by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on a federal level. There are a few exceptions to this; see the list below of professions that still allow the credit:
- Armed Forces reservist
- Qualified performing artist
- Fee-basis state or local government official
- You're disabled and have impairment-related expenses
Some states still allow the expenses. Per the Indiana DOR website, job-related expenses are not listed as a deduction for 2024. If you enter the credit on any return after 2018, then the credit should not have been applied. If your state allows the job-related expense, you can enter the information on your federal return, which will transfer to the state. However, the needs review will remain on the federal return. This will not prevent you from e-filing. For more information, see the link below:
