Impairment-related work expenses

Varies

Can You Write Off Impairment-related Work Expenses?

Short answer: Yes: employees with a disability can still deduct costs like a reader or attendant needed to do their job.

It's one of the few employee expenses still allowed.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
