Medical residents tax write-offs

What Can Medical residents Write Off?
Short answer: Residents can't deduct white coats, board exams, or interview travel federally; moonlighting income as a 1099 contractor lets you deduct licensing, malpractice, and CME tied to that work.
Residents and fellows are W-2 employees, so job costs aren't federally deductible; student loan interest (up to $2,500) and retirement contributions are the main breaks.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
