Can You Write Off Jury Duty Pay?
Short answer: Jury pay is taxable income; if your employer keeps paying you and you hand the jury pay over, you can deduct it above the line.
Report it as other income.
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.
