Can I deduct for parking?

I rented a parking spot in the town I live in. Could I submit this? If so, where?

Can I deduct for parking?

It depends.

No - If this is a personal use parking spot, the IRS will consider this a nondeductible personal expense.

Yes - If this is a parking spot for work and you are not being reimbursed by your work, the you can claim this as a job-related expense.

Unfortunately, these job-related expenses may not be fully deductible because they are subject to a 2% AGI limitation and are only deductible if you itemize.

To enter your job-related expenses in TurboTax Online or Desktop (for TurboTax Online sign-in, click Here), please follow these steps:

  1. Once you are in your tax return, click on the “Federal Taxes” tab
  2. Next click on “Deductions and credits”
  3. Next click on "jump to full list" or “I’ll choose what I work on”
  4. Scroll down the screen until to come to the section “Employment Expenses”
  5. Choose "show more", then Job-related expenses and follow the onscreen instructions
  • Say "yes" to question "Did you have any of these expenses in 2016 for your W-2 income?" under the screen titled "Employment Expenses Related to a W-2".
  • after about 6 to 10 question screens, you will get to a screen titled "Any Other Expenses" you can put this information here
