Can I report expenses for certifications if I am not self-employed?

Expenses are yearly dues and costs of webinars to keep my certifications.

W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

If you live in a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return  to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses

Unreimbursed employee expenses that you incur may be deductible as a Miscellaneous Deduction on your state return. (Miscellaneous Deductions are suspended from 2018–2025 on federal tax returns). When you enter them, TurboTax will figure out if you can deduct them.

Refer to the TurboTax articles Can employees deduct any job-related expenses? and Video: Tax Deductions for Employment Related Expenses.
