- I saw an article in the Boston Globe written by a financial columnist
- that said all job-hunting related expenses can be treated as Itemized
- Deductions (Schedule A). The article cited resume prep, copies,
- postage, and standard mileage allowance for traveling to and from
- interviews (it's either 27.5 or 28 cents per mile now) as deductible.
- What I'd do is contact an accountant about exactly what is and is not
- deductible (or save the receipts and have him/her figure it out!)
