Loan officers tax write-offs
Varies
What Can Loan officers Write Off?
Short answer: W-2 loan officers can't deduct NMLS or marketing federally; 1099 originators deduct licensing, CRM, leads, and mileage.
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.
