Claim union dues
No text available
Union dues are deductible as an employee expense.
Keep in mind that you will not benefit from the expense if:
- You are taking the standard deduction instead of itemizing; and
- All of your unreimbursed employee business expenses and other miscellaneous itemized deductions added together are less than 2% of your AGI. Only the amount over 2% AGI is deductible.
To enter these expenses in TurboTax, please follow these steps:
- Click on Federal Taxes > Deductions & Credits [In TT Self-Employed: Personal > Deductions & Credits > I'll choose what I work on].
- Scroll down to the Employment
Expenses section and click on the Start/Revisit box next to Job-Related
Expenses for W-2 Income. [See Screenshot #1, below.]
