Question

Under "Employment Expenses", I entered "Job-Related Expenses". I continue to get the message "Needs review". How do I get an actual dollar value in that field?

You can ignore the needs review (it won't prevent e-filing) message as you will go through a complete check before filing to catch any real errors.   

 

Those expenses are not deductible on your federal return and only a few states, see below, allow the deduction.  If your state allows the deduction, continue through your return.   But if your state does not allow the deduction, you should delete Form 2106.

 

Can employees deduct W2-Job-Related expenses?
