Where do I enter my school dues from the unions? Last year I had a place where I entered my expenses for a home office while working for the schools.

The federal return no longer allows a deduction for employee business expenses. There are a few states that still allow these deductions. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania all provide a deduction for unreimbursed employee business expenses on their respective state income tax returns.

If you live in one of the states that still allow employee business expenses as a deduction, you would enter this in the federal return, and the information will be transferred to your state return.

Here's how to enter the information:

• Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
• Click on Deductions and Credits
• Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
• Scroll down to Employment Expenses
• On Job-Related Expenses, click on the start/update button
• Once in this section, you can enter union dues and any other employee expenses.
