I work for kroger, which is a union, and when I was hired I was given a piece of paper that had my union fees on it. I was told to keep this paper for tax purposes. But now I'm filing my taxes and I have no idea what to do with it.

You may be able to deduct your union dues if you itemize...

You may be able to deduct your union dues if you itemize deductions (Schedule A). Union dues are included in job-related expenses and are not fully deductible as they are subject to the 2% rule.

To enter your Union Dues in TurboTax:

Continue your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in and click Take me to my return.)
Click Tax Tools (lower left of your screen).
Select Tools.
In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
In the I'm looking for: box, type union dues.
In the results box, highlight union dues, then click GO.
You'll land on the Tell us about the occupation you have expenses for page. Enter your occupation, then click Continue.
Proceed through this section of the interview. Some of these questions may not apply to you, so you'll just answer no and/or click Continue to move through the interview. When you reach the Job-Related Expenses screen, enter your Union Dues and click Continue. (Click the screenshot below to enlarge it for reference).
TurboTax will take your union dues into account when determining whether you should itemize deductions or take the standard deduction.

Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function (instead of "My Account") to search for the topic.
