Deductions & credits
Yes, but you may not see a tax benefit for it.
Job search expenses are considered employee business expenses.
So, you may not gain a tax benefit for this deduction due to the above limitations.
For example, if you itemize your deductions and your Adjusted Gross income is $50,000, 2% would equal $1,000.
You can only deduct the dollar amount that exceeds $1,000.
When you enter it, TurboTax will give the maximum benefit, if any.
To enter your employee business expenses including job search in TurboTax Online:
Click My Account (Top right of your screen).
Select Tools.
In the pop up window, select Topic Search.
In the search bar, type in 2106
Highlight it and select GO, and follow the prompts
