Tax deductible job hunting expenses

Some job hunting expenses are deductible.  The deductions don’t apply if you’re switching fields, have been out of the work force for more than a year or if you are graduating. The deductions apply if you're looking for a job in the same field, but not if you are doing a career transition.  If you held a job in the same field while in school you can deduct your job hunting expenses. Here are some items that are considered valid tax deductions for your job search.

• Resumes: paper, ink, envelopes, postage, preparation services, costs of posting online; resume distribution;
• Portfolio: work-sample preparation and services such as copying.
• Seminars: educations related to your job search and resume preparation.
• Services: counseling for job search and resume writing services.
• Networking: mileage to attend job fairs and network meetings.
• Interview Expenses : expenses related to travel for interviews such as meals, lodging and transportation.
• Business start up: services and consulting for business start-up.

 I know it’s not much, but it’s better than nothing. Every little bit counts these days.
