Employer reimburses travel as taxable income

Hello All,

I submit receipts for travel, food, etc. expenses to my employer when I go to conferences as part of my work. (The expenses and reimbursement do meet the requirements for an "accountable plan.") My employer reimburses those expenses via the payroll system (that is, the reimbursement shows up in my paycheck), and my employer reports this as taxable income. In other words, on my W-2, my total wages (line 1) include the reimbursements on top of my salary.

I assume that I can deduct this extra "income" so I don't have to pay taxes on it, but I am unsure how? I itemize my deductions using Schedule A, but I'm not sure where and how to enter this.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
