Are There Specific Deductions Available for Nurses?
Yes, there are several deductions and credits that nurses can take advantage of to reduce their taxable income. Some common deductions include:
- Uniforms and Work Clothing: If you purchase uniforms or scrubs that are required for your job and not suitable for everyday wear, you can usually deduct these expenses. - Continuing Education: Expenses for courses, seminars, and workshops related to your nursing career may be deductible. - Union Dues and Professional Fees: Membership dues for nursing associations and unions, as well as fees for licensure, can also be deductible. - Mileage: If you use your car for work-related travel (not including your daily commute), you might be able to deduct mileage expenses.
