Doesn’t work as I won’t get a T2200 from my employer and not COVID related for T2200s. 

just straight simple tool expense, training courses and certification expenses that I need for the job.

@gjcromeo Even if you didn't get a T2200 from your employer, you need to choose that option to see the tradesperson tools expense page in TurboTax.

 

The training expenses will need to be entered as tuition, not as a employment expense.
