Gym membership for police officers

$30-$100/mo

Can You Write Off Gym Membership for Police Officers?

Short answer: No: fitness is personal even when the job has physical standards.

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. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
