22 Sep 09 Work Expenses You Can Deduct
If you have a job where you’ve been forced to spend money out of pocket to provide for your needs, chances are there are a few purchases that are tax deductible. The government allows you to deduct purchases made for business purposes, from the tax you would have to pay. Which is only fair considering they are purchases you have no choice but to make. So you should be very aware that some things you’ve bought over the years for your job, may actually have been tax deductible. Knowing that for the future means you can get that money back, the next time you need to make a purchase.
If there is a certain uniform that you are required to wear at your job, that you have to pay for, you can deduct from your taxes. Anything that you only wear for your job, but that couldn’t be considered street wear, is deductible.
Any travel expenses you incur as the result of your job, are also tax deductible. This does not include money that you spend in your daily commute, on gas, etc. Rather, this applies to a business trip. Any gas that you have to pay for out of pocket is tax deductible. That also goes for meals and accommodations. So even if your job doesn’t reimburse you, essential the government will.
Any tools or special items you need for your job that you have to pay for, are also tax deductible. So any supplies or materials that you need to have for your job, that your company doesn’t reimburse you for, you can deduct. So don’t worry about finding money for tools that you need.
If there is a union where you work, and you’re almost forced to take part, any fees associated with that union are tax deductible. Any of the money that they withhold from your paycheck can be deducted on your tax return. As well as money spent on any professional membership that is required where you work.
