TAX DEDUCTIONS ON JOB HUNTING EXPENSES

Job hunting expenses are deductible if you are searching for a job in your present field of work. You are not entitled to this deduction if you are searching for your first job, changing to a new line of work, or if you've been unemployed for a long period of time.

You can deduct job hunting expenses (such as resume costs, employment agency fees, and travel expenses) as a miscellaneous itemized deduction on Schedule A.
