Job hunting
Qualifying expenses are deductible even if they didn't result in a new job being offered or accepted, Rosen says. These costs include resumes, postage, job counseling, employment agency fees, telephone charges, and travel for interviews that isn't reimbursed by the prospective employer. They must exceed 2% of your AGI. To be deductible, you must be looking for work in the same trade or business that you've been in, she says, adding that job hunting expenses when looking for a job in a new field aren't deductible.
