Default Crew deductions

Some crew members have told me that it is ok to deduct union dues and van driver tips. Anyone have experience with this?

Check out this form for a list of possible tax write offs. http://www.advisorsquare.com/new/Acc...CrewWrkSht.pdf

There are many sites to help flight crews. They know how cheap we are so some are very reasonably priced:

Union Dues are fine, although you may be hard pressed to justify tips. While customary, there is no requirement to tip.

Excellent list. I just got on with these guys this year. Saved me about $800+ off my tax bill for a $50 investment. Wish I'd known about them 20 years ago.
