You are allowed to deduct
your mileage (57-1/2 cents/mile for 2015
and 54 cents for 2016) and other job expenses, subtracting what you were reimbursed (do
not subtract your reimbursement if it was included on your W-2 as taxable income).
TurboTax completes form 2106, which then carries to Misc itemized deductions on
Schedule A. The problem with this is that you only get to deduct that portion
of your misc deductions that exceed 2%
of your AGI. and then only if your total
itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction. (2% rule explained:
