National Guard and reservists tax write-offs

Varies

What Can National Guard and reservists Write Off?

Short answer: Reservists who travel over 100 miles from home for drills can deduct unreimbursed travel above the line, even without itemizing.

Reserve travel over 100 miles is an above-the-line deduction (Form 2106); other unreimbursed military costs aren't deductible.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
