Your job-related expenses for tools are listed on form 2106 using the directions below:

  1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax.
  2. In the search box, search for 2106 and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  3. At the Tell us about the occupation you have expenses for screen, enter your occupation.
  4. Click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions until you get to Did you buy or own any items for use on your job?
  5. Answer Yes and proceed through the interview to enter your tools expense.

Alternate Instructions:

  1. Go to My Account > Tools > Topic Search
  2. In the search box, type 2106 and then click Go.
  3. At the Tell us about the occupation you have expenses for screen, enter your occupation.
  4. Click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions until you get to Did you buy or own any items for use on your job?
  5. Answer Yes and proceed through the interview to enter your tools expense.

If you land on the Job-Related Expenses Summary screen instead, you can either Edit expenses for an existing job or click Add Another Occupation to enter expenses for a new one.

Tip: If the only work-related use of your car is commuting back and forth between your home and main workplace, do not enter any vehicle mileage or expenses. The IRS doesn't let employees deduct commuting costs.
