Military members tax write-offs

Varies

What Can Military Members Write Off?

Short answer: The biggest write-offs for military members are PCS moving costs, reservist travel over 100 miles, and tax-free combat pay.

W-2 employees can't deduct unreimbursed job expenses; side income on a 1099 can be deducted on Schedule C.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s and platform tax summaries, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose.
