Other Deductible Expenses missing option to Add

[SamA22]

In TurboTax Premier Mac 2021, under Deductions & Credits > Other Deductions and Credits > Other Deductible Expenses, there is an option for "+ Add other expense" after the generation-skipping taxes question. In TurboTax Premier Mac 2022, under the same path, this option does not exist. Can we no longer added other expenses we believe to qualify if it does not fall within the 5 categories listed there?

No. Job-related expenses for employees are no longer deductible on most people’s federal return in tax years 2018 through 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress passed and the President signed into law on December 22, 2017. However, the job-related expenses deduction is still available to people who work in one of these specific professions or situations:

• Armed Forces reservist
• Qualified performing artist
• Fee-basis state or local government official
• You're disabled and have impairment-related expenses

Additionally, job-related expenses may be deductible in your state. Enter your expenses and we’ll figure out if you can deduct them.

Self-employed expenses that qualify for this deduction are those the IRS considers "ordinary and necessary" for work, like uniforms, tools, union dues, licenses, and travel between job sites.
