Generally, you can deduct these types of costs as unreimbursed employee expenses if they  meet the following guidelines according to the IRS:

• Paid or incurred during your tax year,

• For carrying on your trade or business of being an employee, and

• Ordinary and necessary

These expenses are subject to a 2% of AGI limitation and can be entered in TurboTax Online by selecting Federal Taxes across the top, and then Deductions and Credits.

Next select I'll choose what I work on

 The expenses can be input under, Employment Expenses  and then Job Related Expenses
