I have completed all the necessary items and went through both Federal and State tax process, have run the final checks and trying to now file. However, it keeps stating there is an issue with Form 2106 where my spouse has union dues. It is clearly labeled and entered, and so is the amount. But turbo tax keeps saying it needs information... it is all there... I cannot file as it keeps taking me back to this sheet. Help me figure our what to click to move on. please and thank you

Unless you're in a specific profession, most employees can no longer deduct union dues on their federal tax return in tax years 2018 through 2025. However, job-related expenses may be deductible in your state. I tried to recreate your error in TurboTax Federal and I was not able to get the error.
Please delete your 2106 form and run a federal review to see if you have any errors. If you don't have any errors, reenter the union dues to see if the issue has cleared up.
found my own answer...
Starting in the tax year 2018, NOT reimbursed employee business expenses could no longer be claimed as a tax deduction for the majority of taxpayers. Currently, the only people who can use Form 2106 are Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, fee-based state and local government officials, and employees with impairment-related work expenses. Prior to 2018, any employee with NOT-reimbursed work expenses could use Form 2106 to claim those expenses as a miscellaneous itemized deduction.1
So basically it is captured within the standard deduction.
