You would be able to claim these reimbursed closing costs as a job-related miscellaneous expense.

These deductible miscellaneous expenses are subject to a 2% AGI limitation and are only deductible if you itemize.

To enter your job-related expenses in TurboTax Online or Desktop, please follow these steps:

1. Once you are in your tax return, click on the “Federal Taxes” tab
2. Next click on “Deductions and credits”
3. Next click on "jump to full list" or “I’ll choose what I work on”
4. Scroll down the screen until to come to the section “Employment Expenses”
5. Choose "show more", then Job-related expenses and follow the onscreen instructions

• Say "yes" to question "Did you have any of these expenses in 2016 for your W-2 income?" under the screen titled "Employment Expenses Related to a W-2".
• after about 6 to 10 question screens, you will get to a screen titled "Any Other Expenses" you can put this information here "taxable relocation expenses"
