Overtime for flight attendants
Up to $12,500
Can You Write Off Overtime for Flight Attendants?
Short answer: Airline crews are covered by the Railway Labor Act, not FLSA overtime, so most flight attendant overtime doesn't qualify.
Check whether your W-2 reports qualified overtime.
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.
