I traveled to a different city to look for work as an architect but I am still employed. Can I still deduct the job hunting expenses?


ANSWER


Expert Todd Alexander's Answer:

The IRS allows you to deduct bona fide job search expenses, regardless of your employment status, unless the search for employment is in a new career or field.
