CNAs tax write-offs
Varies
What Can CNAs Write Off?
Short answer: Most CNAs are W-2 and can't deduct scrubs or shoes federally; agency 1099 CNAs deduct uniforms, certification renewals, and mileage between facilities.
W-2 employees can't deduct unreimbursed job expenses on a federal return through at least 2026 (the miscellaneous itemized deduction is gone); ask your employer for an accountable-plan reimbursement instead.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
