If you itemize deductions, you may deduct union dues as a job-related expense. Job-related expenses are not fully deductible as they are subject to the 2% rule. Please see the FAQ below for more information.
To enter your job-related expenses, including union dues:
- Open (continue) your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in, click Take me to my return, then click Pick up where I left off.)
- Click My Account (top right of your screen).
- Select Tools.
- In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
- In the search bar, type 2106.
- In the results box, highlight 2106, then click GO.
- Follow the onscreen instructions. During the interview, you'll reach the Job-Related Expenses screen, where you may enter your union dues. (Click the screenshot below to enlarge it for reference.)
Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function (instead of "My Account") to search for the topic.
