Are there any known problems with the website currently? I am unable to add more than 4 expenses for work. The "+ Add another expense" button disappears after 4.

If you are a W-2 employee job-related expenses are not deductible on your federal return under the new tax law.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting. Then why ask the question on the application? "Enter any other unreimbursed expenses elated to your job such as: Communications expenses Learn more, Purchase and/or upkeep of uniforms or protective clothing Learn more, Professional subscriptions, Union dues...." I guess in case the user is not a W2 employee? And in that case, only limited to 4?

Not sure where in the program you are that is giving you four lines.

I added a screenshot to the post. Thanks!

Thanks for the screenshot--I do not use online--only desktop so not sure what is going on with that screen.  But just so you know, you will get no deduction on your federal return for those things if you are a W-2 employee.

In the screens leading up to the one where you are entering expenses, did you answer some questions about being a performing artist, fee-based government employee, working in a qualified disaster area, etc?

I did notice that the couple that I added didn't affect my Federal. Makes sense now. And yes, I did answer those questions on that screen beforehand.
