Where do i put my union dues

I already listed my union dues in the beginning with my W2 entry.  Did they get deducted already or should I list them later in deductions and credits

You can list them in the Deductions and Credits as your itemized deductions, job-related expenses:

  1. Federal Taxes
  2. Deductions & Credits (you may have to select See all tax breaks)
  3. Employment Expenses
  4. Job-Related Expenses

Hello, I'm looking to amend my 2018 State Tax return because I didn't realize in MN we can still deduct union dues and meal expenses. What form do I need to fill out for this or is there a certain line to put this amount on my ammended release.

 

Thanks

Union dues are no longer deductible for your 2018 federal return.  The new tax law eliminated job-related expenses for W-2 employees.

I believe you can still deduct them in MN, so how would I do that on an ammend state return.

Sorry--not familiar with the MN forms.  It would be better for you to post your own completely new question in a new thread that specifically mentions MN in the subject line so someone who knows the MN forms will see it.  This thread is very old and not likely to be seen.
