Snap-on tool truck payments

Can You Write Off Snap-on Tool Truck Payments?

Short answer: Self-employed mechanics deduct tools bought on Snap-on or Mac credit; W-2 techs can't federally, and finance interest is personal for them.

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. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
