Question

My wife is a Nurse Practitioner and in 2022 she had to renew several certifications needed to continue seeing patients. Is this expense tax deductible?

If she is an independent contractor she can put the expense on her Schedule C. If she is a W-2 employee, the expense is not deductible on your federal return.

Can I deduct job-related expenses on my tax return?

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.
