Tradesman Reclassification

My son finished his apprenticeship in 2024.  He had to pay an extra $400 fee for "reclassification" for his union.

Is there a spot in TT to enter this $400? 

Thank you!

No, there was a time when a taxpayer could claim expenses relating to there job, but that was suspended. 

Only Self-Employed taxpayers can claim work related expenses. 

The $400 also would not qualify as an education expense.
