Retirement tax questions

Did you enter educator expenses (deduction for teachers, kindergarten through grade 12 who buy classroom supplies out of their own pocket) for you or your spouse or both?    Review this section in TurboTax; it is in the Deductions and Credits section - Employment Expenses - Teacher (Educator) Expenses.     There may be something entered in that section that needs to be deleted.   Here are the requirements for the Teacher/Educator Expense Deduction.    If you or your spouse claimed the deduction, make sure there is a W-2 entered as you have to have worked 900 hours as an educator.
