Looking for the section where the instructions state, "if you were a hairdresser and purchased shampoo, etc, place those expenses here"

If your employer has provided you with a T2200, you would be eligible to deduct these types of employment expenses on your tax return. To do this in TurboTax Online:

  1. Open your TurboTax return. At the top of the page, click the "Find" icon.
  2. When the search bar appears, type in “Emp”, select “Employment Expenses” from the list, then click the “Go” button.
  3. This will take you to the Employment Expenses page. Select the box if you are eligible to claim employment expenses, then click Continue.
  4. Once on the Employment Expenses Profile page, select T2200, then click Continue.
  5. On the next page, check off the box next to Other Employment Expenses. Answer the other questions on the page, then click Continue.
  6. Once on the Other Employment Expenses page, you can enter your employment expenses. If there is no specific box for your expense, you can enter it in “Other Expenses”. If you have more than one “Other Expense” you can put the total of all your other expenses in the box.
  7. Select Continue to save your work.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
