To enter Investment Expenses in TurboTax:
Note: The investment-related expenses – along with your other miscellaneous itemized deductions – must exceed two percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI) to be deductible. For example, if your AGI is $50,000, you can deduct only the amount that exceeds $1,000.

All it says is to enter this into the "other deductions group". I look there and it wont let me enter magazine, copying or postage.............
Okay. Follow down the same path you went before.
None of the boxes under "Tell us about your less common expenses" apply to my expenses for maintaining my investments. There really should be a more clear entry point for this information.
They should because johnW102 has listed the right path for you to take. After you follow the menu path and select other deductible expenses, he program asks if there were any generation skipping taxes, you will say no. Then the next screen asks

I read ass instructed and not one box had anything indicating investment expenses. I just e-filed and I did not take a screenshot unfortunately. It was odd boxes asking about other stuff. After e-filinig, I re-opened my TT and went exactly where you stated and suddenly it asks me about investment expenses! I wish I had that before I filed! Should I ammend?? A poster on another tpoic said the investment expenses is dissalowed till 2025? But maybe it would have helped for my state return......Without knowing to visit "other deductions", the average user wouldnt know to enter it here. TT should specifically ask about investment expenses.
With the lack of guidance, especially with my California taxes, I'm really starting to doubt using TT next year. For instance on state, the program will only ask for me to enter any differences for California. How do I know what dollar amounts to put in without any guidance?? This is why I buy TT, so that it will know and ask me if or what California differences I may or may not have! It's like I'm supposed to know this already. Therefore I never put any California differences and I wonder every year if I should have. I don't buy TT to have to research tax law for my state. TT should know and ask. Frustrating.
Sorry, but "investment expenses" not an option for "Less Common Expenses" in 2022 Turbotax download Premium. It was for 2021 Turbotax. Although that category is not deductible for federal returns, it IS for some states, and Turbotax ought to provide that capability. Meanwhile, what is the workaround?
