Taxpayers are eligible to take many different work
deductions based on their occupation. In order to take work
deductions you must itemize and
prepare schedule A.
Deductible work expenses are limited to the amount that
exceeds 2% of your gross salary:
Example: Your income is $50,000. 2% of that amount is
$1,000. The amount of your work deductions that exceed
$1,000 are deductible.
These are some sample deductions to the listed occupations.
Rasta returns will never rush you and will get to know you
so we can work together to maximize these deductions.
