How do i enter a single date of purchase for tools i bought throughout the whole year?

To enter Employee Expenses:

  • Select "Federal Taxes" on the Tax Timeline
  • Select "Deductions & Credits" on the second menu bar
  • Click "Check for more tax breaks" then select "Skip to see all breaks"
  • Scroll down to "Employment Expenses" and select "Show More"
  • Select "Start" next to "Job Expenses for W-2 Income"

 

On the next screen you will see "Let us know if you had any of these expenses for your W-2 income":

  • Vehicle expenses for work, not commuting
  • Travel
  • Meals and entertainment expenses
  •  Home office expenses
  • Job-related equipment

If these apply to your situation, you will answer "Yes" to "Did you have any of these expenses in 2016 for your W-2 income?" Then follow the interview questions to enter information about the items purchased.
