Hospitalists tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Hospitalists Write Off?

Short answer: Contract hospitalists deduct licenses, board recertification, CME, travel to remote assignments, and malpractice tail coverage; W-2 hospitalists can't federally.

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.
