Abstract
Job-hunting is a stressful activity which can also be very expensive given the high cost of application letters, mail and traveling expenses. To alleviate some of the financial burdens of job seekers, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) offers some form of tax relief in the form of tax deductability of certain job application expenses. However, this help is limited to those looking for work that is the same as, or similar to the work they currently have. Aside from meeting the nature of employment requirement, job applicants may qualify for the tax deductions if the nature and extent of expenses satisfy IRC criteria. Job seeking costs must be itemized on Schedule A, otherwise they will be considered tax deductible. Most importantly, expenses must be accompanied by proper documentation.
