Hi,

Is Grammarly considered deductible as an armed forces reservist?

No. According to the Form 2106 instructions extracted below you only deduct the unreimbursed expenses related to travel more than 100 miles from your home.

"If you qualify, complete Form 2106 and include the part of the line 10 amount attributable to the expenses for travel more than 100 miles away from home in connection with your performance of services as a member of the reserves on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 12, and attach Form 2106 to your return. The amount of expenses you can deduct on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 12, is limited to the regular federal per diem rate (for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses) and the standard mileage rate (for car expenses), plus any parking fees, ferry fees, and tolls. These reserve-related travel expenses are deductible whether or not you itemize deductions. See Pub. 463 for additional details on how to report these expenses."

Okay, but why would CourseHero apply, and not Grammarly?

No. CourseHero is not an approved expense because it is not a qualified job-related, travel, transportation, meals, or entertainment expenses.
