The three that caught my eye were crashpad, cell phone, and internet.

My favorite was a buddy deducting his whole cable bill because of the weather channel.

Can we deduct the chiropractor for care after carrying the flight case? How about therapist bills for the snowflakes that can't handle the ridicule from other airlines that we still have paper charts? :-D

I'd have to double check, but I thought you could deduct the percentage of the cost for items required for work (cell phone, internet,...) that you use for work. It has been a long time since I was in that situation (not with an airline yet) so I'd have to dig back into it to be sure.

Same three here. You'd be hard pressed to prove how much you use them for work. And since you don't have a business, they probably wouldn't qualify anyway. A crash pad isn't legit because you are not required to have one by the company. That's a personal preference.

I don't deduct crashpad because of IRS 511.

Another one that raised a flag for me was the travelnet fee. Commuter fees are generally not deductable unless traveling between job locations. Travel from home to work is almost always a no-go.

According to that if you change bases every year you can deduct all travel expenses.
