You can deduct work-related education to maintain or improve your skills in your present job, but you cannot deduct expenses to train or qualify for a new job, career, or profession.

If the books are required to do your job, you can take the deduction as unreimbursed business expenses when you itemize your deductions, but you'll need to exceed the 2 percent of adjusted gross income threshold.
