[OneYonge]

Does anyone know if these are eligible tax deductible expenses for Pilots who payed out of pocket for 2024?

TC License and Exam Fees?
CAT 1 Medical Exam Fee?
Foreflight Subscription?
LinkedIn Subscription?
Pilottraining.ca, Nizus, TheWisePilot subscription?
Travel costs not covered by employer?
Meals, Lodging expenses?
Any others claims that people tend to miss out on?

Fees you pay out of pocket to maintain your licence are deemed tax deductible, i.e. your medical. Meals and lodging can also be deductible provided you paid out of pocket. Any reimbursements you receive cannot be deducted. If you receive a per diem, no tax deduction is allowed. You will have to have your employer sign a T2200 form. No employer, no deduction.

Travel costs i.e. commuting to work cannot be deducted. Subscriptions? Seriously?

Foreflight subscription a legit tax deduction if it’s required for the job and not provided by the company.

Remember when Borek made its pilots buy paper charts and pubs back in the day? No different.

Also, home office space. Take advantage of it.

If you're working a seasonal/remote job away from home i guess your fuel expense/ticket is a write off?
I understand some folks do road trips across the country to get to their base?

I think Pilottraining.ca is tuition writeoff?
LinkedIn is job search related...so maybe?

Construction workers can write off their steel toe boots, tools....do pilots have something similar...maybe their Aviators? Headsets?
Anyone wanna share their tax tips?

Groundschools like pilot training.ca are tax deductible and you should get a T2202 I think it is from an accredited post secondary program. Headsets are I think: required for work. Uniform clothes if you pay yourself maybe, never tried. The fact that commuting costs aren’t is horseshit, but whatever.
