I am not self-employed but where do I enter expenses for my job with my employer?

If (and only if) these are expenses incurred in your W-2 job, you'll deal with that when you get to that point in the program, under the Deductions & Credits tab in the Job Related Expenses section. You can only claim expenses you incurred that are a condition of employment, or continued employment. If your employer reimbursed you for those expenses, then you can still claim them provided the "conditions" are met. but you also have to claim the reimbursement as taxable income. Usually, the employer includes your reimbursed expenses in box 1 of your W-2. So it all works out.
