Default Deducting training contract

Someone posted a whole list of things you can deduct from your taxes as a flight crew member (thanks!).

Does anyone know if you can deduct training contract payments from a previous job? It seems like as much of a work expense as anything else... Thanks!

Resurrecting your post since the talent shortage is over - for now - and contracts are cropping up again. Surprised nobody ever replied - anyone have an answer?

Also, we know that essentially nothing is deductible for employees anymore - so the more specific question is would such payment be deductible for a contractor payed via form 1099?

The new tax laws made essentially nothing deductible. Contract payments would not fall under any special category, and thus remain taxable.

Id talk to an actual CPA. You’d be surprised what you can still write off. It just needs to add up to more than $20k.
