I have customers asking why they can't take employee deductions from the 2106. They have friends who filed their returns with turbo tax and it allowed them to take the deductions. Some have talked to CPA's that said they are able to take the deductions. Please help.

Some states still allow them, so there is still a place to enter them on Schedule A.

And having spent more than a fair share of my time over I the TurboTax message boards, I can just about guarantee that the majority of people using it have NO clue what they get deductions for and what they don't....so someone's friend that uses TurboTax is hardly what I would call a reliable source of information.

Maybe their friends should come over to see you since you are evidently doing it right.

Having a 2106 in a return means nothing because the form still exists for a few categories of employees but the line items are limited to meals and travel as well as vehicular expenses.

There's no way they could report 2% misc I/D on an approved 2106.
