Troubleshooting
If you're a salaried or commissioned employee
- Select Find (or the magnifying glass icon) from the TurboTax menu
- In the Find window, type employment
- Select Employment Expenses from the list of results, then select Go
- On the Employment Expenses step, select Yes
- On the Employment Expense Profile step, make the selection that best applies to your situation, then select Continue
- Follow the instructions that appear on-screen to enter your expenses
- You've finished the expenses section when you reach the Your Employment Profile step
Note: To claim this deduction (line 22900 of your tax return), you must qualify under the new COVID rules, OR have a signed T2200 or T2200s from your employer showing the conditions of your employment. Don’t file the T2200 or T2200s with your return but do keep a copy for your records.
If you're using TurboTax Self-Employed Online
Note: For tax year 2022, the ability to report self-employed expenses is only available in the Self-Employed version of TurboTax Online. You can follow these same steps in TurboTax Free, Standard, or Premier for previous tax years.
- Select Find (or the magnifying glass icon) from the TurboTax menu
- In the Find window, type Self-employment, select it from the list of results, then select Go
- On the Let’s look at your self-employment income and expenses step, select Check the box if you have self-employed income and expenses to report, then select Continue. If you're preparing your return with a spouse, check the box next to the spouse who's reporting the self-employment expenses
- The instructions for this step depend on how much of your return you've completed so far, so follow the instructions below that match what you see on-screen:
- If you see the Your Self-Employment or Business Summary step and want to enter business expenses for a business not listed on-screen, select Enter New Business, then follow the instructions to reach the expenses section
- If you see the Your Self-Employment or Business Summary step and want to enter business expenses for a business listed on-screen, select Edit next to that business, then follow the instructions to reach the expenses section
- If you see the What kind of self-employment work do you do? step, answer the question, then select Continue. Follow the instructions to reach the expenses section
- You've finished the expenses section when you reach the Did you have any fixed assets? step
