jasdlm Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Client is a practicing attorney in one State. Takes a job in another State but has to sit that State's Bar exam in order to fulfill the requirements for the Job. In this particular case, I am wondering if the Bar Review fees and exam costs would be deductible. I think yes because 1) it is required by the employer (she had the job before she sat the bar), but I can also see 'no' because it would be a minimum requirement for working in the field in the new state. I have researched and cannot find a specific answer for bar expenses for a second state. (I know they would not be deductible the 1st time around because they qualify the taxpayer for a new profession.) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yes, it does not qualify her for a new profession, just for that particular job in the same profession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
