If you're self-employed, you can enter your union dues as a Schedule C business expense.

Otherwise, if you're an employee, enter your union dues as a job-related expense. Simply search for union dues in your TurboTax program and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results. We'll take you to a screen that asks about your job-related expenses.

You're receiving the money twice - once when you're initially paid and the dues are withheld and then again when the union reimburses those deductions. So you're going to be taxed twice on money you receive twice.
