I have reservist expenses, but turbo tax says reimbursements are higher than expenses, so I can't deduct. I don't have and didn't enter reimbursement. Can you help?

Unreimbursed military reserve expense for travel exceeding 100 miles.  No mileage charges (used govt. vehicle) and no hotel, just per diem.

Thanks for your service!

 

You may have had a code "L" in box 12 on your W-2 form and an amount listed. This would represent your reimbursed expenses.

Thank you for the response.  I do not have an "L" on my W-2 as I do not have any reimbursed expenses.  What else might be the issue?

Does anyone else have this issue with the software not calculating and adding the meals expense (the 50%) deduction to the 2106 form?  I do have any reimbursements on any W-2 and I did not enter any reimbursements.  Yet, turbo tax tells me that my reimbursements are more than my expenses.  Is this a software glitch?  As a last resort, I may have to delete everything and start over, but even this may not resolve the problem.
