"unreimbursed expenses related to your job" only 4 entries online

I switched from desktop last year to online this year.  The "Any other expenses?" page where I can list out unreimbursed expenses related to your job such as:

  • Communications expense
  • Purchase and/or upkeep of uniforms or protective clothing
  • Professional subscriptions
  • Union dues
  • Equipment and tools that are expected to last for less than a year

it only shows 4 blank rows under Description/Amount and no ability to scroll.  On the desktop version you can scroll and add more than 4.  Am I doing something wrong?

-W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

 

 

If you live in a state that lets you deduct job-related expenses, the information will flow from your federal return  to the state return, so enter it in Federal>Deductions and Credits>Employment Expenses>Job-Related Expenses
