I have work expenses, home office deductions and other business expenses but not considered self employed

This jumps me to the Turbo Tax Self Employed forms, don't think I wan that.

You should be able to report those as job expenses and not be prompted to use the Self-Employed program.

Sign into your return and report the expense under:

  • Federal Taxes
  • Deductions and Credits
  • Scroll down past "All tax breaks" to "Employment Expenses" Show more
  • Job Expenses for W-2 Income Start or Revisit
