Elevator mechanics tax write-offs

What Can Elevator mechanics Write Off?
Short answer: Elevator mechanics are almost always W-2, so tools, phones, and licenses aren't federally deductible; ask about tool allowances.
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.
