CPR and first aid course

$50-$120

Can You Write Off CPR and First Aid Course?

Short answer: Deductible when required for self-employed work like personal training or childcare; otherwise personal.

Self-employed people deduct ordinary and necessary business costs on Schedule C, which lowers both income tax and the 15.3% self-employment tax.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
