I was given this response by a Turbotax EA and was later told by another the information is incorrect.
I did not find any tax credits but there are a few tax deductions:
Under the HEROES Act, first responders would be able to take a $500 “above-the-line” tax deduction for unreimbursed expenses for tuition and fees related to professional development or training, or for the cost of uniforms. An "above-the-line" deduction means a deduction you can claim even if you don't itemize.
If this is correct where would I enter the above line deductions
Yes, it is correct. First Responder
SEC. 20202. ABOVE-THE-LINE DEDUCTION ALLOWED FOR CERTAIN EXPENSES OF FIRST RESPONDERS.
(a) In General.—Section 62(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
“(F) CERTAIN EXPENSES OF FIRST RESPONDERS.—The deductions allowed by section 162 which consist of expenses, not in excess of $500, paid or incurred by a first responder—
“(i) as tuition or fees for the participation of the first responder in professional development courses related to service as a first responder, or
“(ii) for uniforms used by the first responder in service as a first responder.”.
(b) First Responder Defined.—Section 62(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
“(4) FIRST RESPONDER.—For purposes of subsection (a)(2)(F), the term ‘first responder’ means, with respect to any taxable year, any employee who provides at least 1000 hours of service during such taxable year as a law enforcement officer, firefighter, paramedic, or emergency medical technician.”.
Since there is no specific place to include it, you can enter it as a negative amount in Other Income and reference Section 62(a)(2) .
You can add it as Other Income.
