Tax question about Union dues
| Fri, 02-06-2009 - 12:04pm |
Can you claim union dues as a working expense? DH worked fulltime for 3 months in the union and then part time for another 6 months in the union and was paying union dues the whole time. That's around $450 dollars. Plus his company stiffed him and was charging him union dues anyway even though he had already opted out of the union. They won't reimburse him for those expenses so I'm wondering if I can get at least some of it back through taxes.

YES, union dues are a deductible employee expense.
You can if you file schedule A.
