What Can Wind turbine technicians Write Off?
Short answer: W-2 techs can't deduct climbing gear federally; contract techs working away from home deduct harnesses, per diem meals, lodging, and GWO certifications.
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.
