Yes, you can deduct union dues in Pennsylvania.  

 

Reference: Unreimbursed Business Expenses | Department of Revenue

Is there an easy way to do that? I know it will be under the federal part.

When you are in the Pennsylvania (PA) section of your return, you will be asked if you have employee business expenses. Enter your union dues in this part of your state return to show a deduction on Schedule UE.

Go to the Income and Adjustments section of the Pennsylvania tax return organizer in TurboTax Desktop and click through several screens until you get to one that says Unreimbursed Job Expenses. Answer Yes and advance through the screens until you get to Union Dues.
