For Online TurboTax 2025, where can I enter uniform expenses for job as Armed Forces Reservist? It is only giving option for Travel (vehicle and food)

If you are itemizing, then you can add your reservist expenses under business expenses on Form 2106. After you answer yes to travel, there will be options for parking, lodging, meal and incidentals. The uniforms are an incidental in this case since the deduction is only allowed according to Veterans when "your base restricts wearing uniforms while off duty and the price of your uniform’s upkeep exceeds your uniform allowance, you can deduct the excess costs. This deduction is typically available to National Guard members and reservists and is not the case for active-duty soldiers."

 

If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.  Pay through either Direct Pay or your individual online account. See if you need to file a state extension.
