My company moved to a different location and I have to take toll roads to get to and from work. Can I deduct the tolls?

[DS30 · Accepted solution]

It depends but if using the toll roads is for business use only and the cost of the toll tag is not reimbursed by your employer then you can claim an itemized deduction for this unreimbursed business expense.

Just remember that job-related expenses that you report as an employee are subject to a 2% AGI limitation and you will only get the benefit if you are taking an itemized deduction on your tax return.

To enter your lodging expenses as a job-related travel expense in TurboTax Online or Desktop, please follow these steps:

1. Once you are in your tax return, click on the “Federal Taxes” tab
2. Next click on “Deductions & Credits”
3. Next click on "jump to full list" or “I’ll choose what I work on”
4. Scroll down the screen until to come to the section “Employment Expenses”
5. Choose "show more", then Job-related expenses and follow the onscreen instructions          

• Say "yes" to question "Did you have any of these expenses in 2015 for your W-2 income?" under the screen titled "Employment Expenses Related to a W-2".
• after about 6 to 10 question screens, you will get to a screen titled "Any Other Expenses?" you can put this information here under travel expenses
