Can You Write Off Parking Tickets?
Short answer: No: parking and traffic tickets are fines, never deductible, even on a work trip.
Parking fees (not fines) on business trips are deductible.
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.
