Form 2106 expense type doesnt apply to me, but says one must be selected. options are: fee based state/loc gov, qual perf artist, arm forces rsrvist, impair related work

You can't deduct 2106 expenses this year unless you're in one of those groups.

This, from Form 2106, Employee Business Expenses:

for use only by Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, fee-basis state or local government officials, and employees with impairment-related work expenses

I am having the same issue. I am an educator and have expenses, but they don't look like they qualify under any of those options. Not sure what to do.

To deduct the Educator expenses:

• Go to Federal Taxes
• Go Deductions and Credits.
• Scroll down to Employment Expenses and click show more.
• Click Start next to Teacher (Educator) expenses.
