Un-reimbursed Employee Deductions - The taxes taken out of your paycheck can seem like a huge
amount. However, saving your receipts may help you with tax relief, in the form
of itemized deductions.
To claim tax relief for Un-reimbursed
Employee expenses, your deductions must have been:
paid for during the year of filing - For instance, if
you bought steel-toed shoes in previous tax years, it is not an eligible
deduction
used for your job - Shoes that wouldn't be worn outside
of work, for example.
normal and needed expenditures - A normal expenditure
is a cost that is common in your profession. A needed expenditure is a
cost that is helpful in your job.
Under those guidelines, some
expenses may be eligible for a tax relief claim and can be deducted:
The cost of your passport if you're required to take
business trips out of the country
A college professor may be able to claim research
expenses
Job search expenses - such as gas or fees from a
professional resume writer
Work clothes - if your clothes and shoes were needed
and bought for the job, and aren't suitable for general wear
Tools needed for your specific trade - carpentry tools,
for example
Your union dues may be eligible for deduction
Further education for your trade
The cost of magazines having to do with your profession
