Job-Related Expenses Deduction

The first thing you should know about the Job-Related Expenses Deduction is
that it is very difficult to qualify for this deduction. That's because the
expense limit is so high. In order to qualify, your job-related expenses
must be more than 2% of your AGI (adjusted gross income).

Example: If your AGI is $40,000, your expenses would have to be more than
$800 ($40,000 x 2%). Even then, you could only deduct the amount over $800.
So, if your job-related expenses were $1,000 you could only deduct $200
($1,000 - $800).

If you decide it might be worth it to enter your info, TurboTax
automatically calculates whether you qualify for the Job-Related Expenses
Deduction. Just enter information about your income and your job-related
expenses and we'll take care of the rest.

Other Things to Know About This Deduction

- The expenses must be required by your employer or necessary for you to do
your job.

- You can't deduct education expenses that are necessary to meet the minimum
requirements for the job. So, if you are an administrative assistant and
typing is a requirement for your job, you can't deduct the cost of taking a
typing class.

- If your expenses are high enough, as mentioned above, you might be able to
deduct expenses to look for a job.
