I cannot find where to enter the deduction of my teacher union dues

[peonyaer]

I posted teacher expenses of 250.00 and cannot figure out where to add union dues 1147.20

You cannot deduct your union dues anymore.  

Due to the new tax law change the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, ( TCJA), for 2018 through 2025, Congress suspends all miscellaneous itemized deductions ( Form 2106) that are subject to the 2 percent of adjusted gross income floor. This change affects un-reimbursed employee expenses such as job-related travels, uniforms, union dues and the deduction for business-related meals and entertainment.  You will not be able to deduct any unreimbursed employee expenses on your 2019 tax return.

Turbo Tax 2017 will not let me enter additional job-related expenses because I entered my occupation as Teacher.  So I'm limited to my $250 out of pocket expenses.  This isn't right...either that or the Tax Code has changed not allowing union dues!
