Interview expenses tax deductible?

[MrsK]

When going from residency to fellowship or to The Job, isn't medicine the "current occupation"?

Do we not have an IMSN tax accountant??? We need to recruit one, stat!

Yes but not from med school to residency. That being said, I know many of DH's classmates did deduct it but we did not because I read that as we couldn't. It wasn't DH's first job but I wasn't sure how that was defined. He worked FT out of college for 2 years but then we obviously a student again. I thought it would be defined as first job after a new degree but maybe that's not true.

We deducted them but our circumstances were a little different. Since DH was in the MD/PhD program, he was paid a small stipend that we received a W2 for every year. I considered that employment, so he essentially was looking for a new job within the same field.
