missing "unreimbursed employee expenses"

[rvr350]

I was completing my 2021 turbotax federal return, it stated for tax year 2020, i had $20k unreimbursed employee expenses, but for 2021, it was $0. I also did not see the form 2106 attached to my 2021 tax return. Did i miss anything?

for most employees, these expenses haven't been deductible since 2018 and goes through 2025.

2106 is only for

Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, fee-basis state or local government officials, and employees with impairment-related work expenses

some states may allow them so there would be a need to complete that section in Turbotax.

but should i still see a value for individual state tax return if they allow unreimbursed employee expeses? Turbotax filled 2106 for my last year's state return.

Possibly. If you unreimbursed business expenses are deductible on your state tax return then you should see a value and Form 2106.
