The easiest way to enter your job-related
employee expenses:
- In
TurboTax, type 2106 (exactly like that) in the search bar at the top right
of your screen and then select the "Jump to" link in the
search results
- Enter your occupation and
continue through the screens that don't apply to you
- Answer No on the screen Did you buy
or own any items for use on your job? unless you had an asset to add. Answering yes will allow you add an asset.
- On the next screen answer no and continue through
the next screen without adding your expense here
- On the next screen, enter
the description and expenses
- Continue through the screens
until you get out
Form 2106 (Employee Business Expenses) is used for employees'
unreimbursed travel, meal, entertainment, and transportation expenses
(including DOT per diem). Form 2106-EZ is a simplified version.
