Of course, I'm referring to the travel and lodging expenses relating to the written exam and structured interview.
I saved all my receipts just in case.

I'm not a tax attorney-- but my understanding is that job search expenses may possibly be deducted under the 2% category on Schedule A, i.e., the amount over 2% of AGI may possibly be listed as a deduction on Schedule A. Each person would need to check that out with IRS info, for his/her own factual situation.

I am not a tax attorney either; however, here is IRS Publication no. 17 www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p17.pdfIf you go to "publication page 188" or page 190 in the pdf window, you will see the section on job search expenses. Hope this helps! |

Hope this helps! Great link! I found the information on page 198 of the publication and 200 in the pdf window. Key problem is whether the job of ALJ is a "new occupation." If the applicant is an attorney or employee of another agency in a non-ALJ capacity, it would appear at first blush that the job is a new occupation. Every job done by a lawyer is not necessarily the same occupation. Different rules apply to in-house candidates whose expenses were reimbursed by the agency. |
