Working on ATP - probably can't deduct that.

But next would be cfi - Probably can't deduct that but..... if I get a cfii and MEI would that not be continued study and increase of capabilities for a specific profession?

Also would a type rating after the cfi be an additional improvement in skills re: what you can train people on? Thus be tax deductable?

If anyone knows how to do it please let me know, or do I just go straight to jail on this line of thinking

thanks
