Code and building inspectors tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Code and building inspectors Write Off?

Short answer: 1099 inspectors deduct ICC certifications, code books, a tablet and inspection software, ladders, and mileage between sites; W-2 inspectors can't.

Self-employed workers deduct these on Schedule C, cutting income tax and the 15.3% self-employment tax; keep receipts and a mileage log.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
