While working in your tax return, try using the following steps to go directly to the section of your return to enter your educator expenses:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)

  • This opens a box where you can type in “educator expenses deduction” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)

  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to educator expenses deduction

  • Click on the blue “Jump to educator expenses deduction” link and enter your information
