Question

My educational expenses are also being counted twice. Once for educational expense and one for Job Expense W2 Income. I did not enter twice and would like to remove?

It's not clear exactly what the two places are where you see the teacher expenses. Are you talking about screens in TurboTax or the actual tax forms? Don't worry about the TurboTax screens if the tax return is correct. Is the amount of educator expenses on Schedule 1 line 11 correct? Do you see the same amount somewhere else on the tax forms? If so, on what form and line number?


Teacher expenses are not "educational expenses." "Educational expenses" means tuition and fees for college or graduate school. The IRS calls teacher expenses "educator expenses," not "educational expenses."
