Where do deduct travel expenses for for my job interview?

If you itemize deductions, you may claim job-search expenses (including travel expenses) since you were looking for work in your current profession. If you want to deduct your mileage, use the IRS standard business mileage rate (54 cents per mile for 2016). The FAQ below provides step-by-step instructions for entering job-search expenses in TurboTax. 

Note: Job-search expenses are included as miscellaneous expenses subject to the 2% rule. You can only deduct the portion of miscellaneous expenses that exceeds 2% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).
