Can I claim my dry cleaning from my security uniforms

Yes, you can. Will it do you any good? Most likely no. Why?
First that is an itemized deduction. You can not claim itemized deductions when you use the Free version of Turbotax, you must use a paid version.
Even so, that would be an unreimbursed employee business expense deduction, subject to a 2% of AGI floor. What that means is that only the amount of such deductions that is more than 2% of your agi is actually deductible, also, you get no tax benefit from itemized deductions until all of them added together are more than your standard deduction.
2016 Standard Deduction
Taxpayer under 65, not claimed as a dependent
$6,300 for Single
$12,600 for Married Filing Jointly, or Qualifying Widow(er) with dependent child
$9,300 for Head of Household
$6,300 for Married Filing Separately
For over 65 or blind, add $1,250 for each instance or add
$1,550 each instance if single and not a surviving spouse.
