If you were reimbursed for any of your uniform maintenance expenses such as
alterations or dry cleaning, do not include these amounts. We cannot take a deduction
for any expense for which you were reimbursed. IRS regulations go even a little further.
We cannot take a deduction for any expense for which you COULD have been
reimbursed. For example: if your airline will reimburse you for your uniform alteration
expenses but you just did not get around to submitting your receipts for reimbursement.
The IRS will not allow this expense as a deduction because you ‘could’ have been
reimbursed. Thus, do not include any expenses for which you were reimbursed, or any
expenses for which you could have been reimbursed, but were not.

Computer & Related Expenses
Computers are not deductible. The IRS has issued a Letter Ruling (#8615024 & Bryant,
U.S. Ct. App. 3rd cir. 74 AFTR2d 94-5440) disallowing a deduction for home computers.
The ruling states…”Despite legitimate business use, employees generally may not write
off the cost of their computer. By law, a computer must be used for the convenience of the
employer and required as a condition of employment.” In private rulings, the IRS ruled
an individual may not claim depreciation when the purchase of a computer is optional
and not absolutely required by their employer as a condition of employment. All airlines
provide computers for their employees to use. Although they are a huge asset to our jobs,
the airline does not require that we have a personal computer or laptop.

If you pay a service to trade your trips or rearrange your schedule, these fees may be
deductible. In order for you to deduct this expense, you must pick up trips of higher time
or end up with a line of higher time or greater paying trips. If you trade from domestic to
international, this would qualify since international pays more per hour than domestic. If
you trade from an aisle position to a galley position at some airlines, this also qualifies since
this position has a higher per hour pay.
If you drop your trips and don’t fly a full schedule, your trading fees generally are not
deductible. If you have any questions, please contact us at 317-984-5812.

Home phone or basic home phone service is not deductible. The IRS believes that the
basic home land line service is an expense that most Americans have regardless of
their profession. Cell phones, in time, will probably be included in this category.
Many of us don’t even have a land line anymore and use our cell phone as our
exclusive contact number. Make sure that the amounts you provide to us are for your
single phone only. If your plan covers 3 phones, make sure to subtract the added
cost of the additional phones.
Because your job requires you to be directly accessible to the company, we have the
grounds for a deduction of the expenses which are incurred. If you are on reserve, this is
obvious, but you must also be available for contact by or to contact crew scheduling for
non-routine situations, cancellations and mechanicals. You are also using your cell phone
to call your supervisor, union or fellow crew members.
We have asked you for the amount of your monthly base. Be sure to include taxes and
fees. From this base, we will take the deduction based on the percentage of business usage.
As a general rule, very few deductions which can also have a personal use pass
IRS scrutiny at 100% business. Most of our clients tell us the business use percentage is
between 50% and 70%. If you believe you have a percentage of business use other than
this, please provide the amount in the space provided. Don’t hesitate to call us if you
have any questions about this deduction!
Calling Card Amount

International Prepaid Calling Card per month

If you fly domestic and don’t have a cell phone (yes, it does happen) or are flying
international and do not have international service on your cell, the amount you place
on a calling card or prepaid calling card is deductible under the same qualifications as
your cell phone.
Please provide the monthly or yearly dollar amount on your business/layover usage calls.

the receipt or put it on a credit card. Enter any expenses for copying, faxing or mailing in
these specific entry areas.

Temporary Duty/Special Assignment
If you are on Temporary Duty assigned by the company for any reason, your related
expenses may be deductible. The IRS defines Temporary Duty as any assignment that
has an expected completion date of less than one year. If your assignment is greater than
one year, you do not qualify for this deduction.
You may also qualify for some very substantial deductions if you are on a special assign-
ment away from your base. For example, if you are based in New York and accept a
training position in Dallas; your housing, meal and transportation expenses are all de-
ductible (assuming these expenses are not provided by the airline).
Do NOT enter any TDY or SPA days that are on your schedule. If you are providing your
schedules to us or using our online per diem calculator, we/you will include these dates
and locations in your schedule per diem calculations. Only enter days below that are
NOT included on your flight schedule.

Purpose of TDY?
Training
Your job requires, at a minimum, yearly training per the FAA. You are allowed to
take a per diem deduction for each day that you spend in training. For example,
if you have training in Atlanta, you are allowed a deduction of $52 for each day
you are in Atlanta for training. We are, however, required to subtract the amount
of per diem that your airline paid you for your time in training.
If you are based where your training is held, you are NOT allowed to take a per
diem deduction for training. As in the example above, if you are based in Atlanta,
you are not eligible for this deduction.
An easy way to determine this deduction, in general, if your airline pays you a per
diem for your meal expenses during training, you are able to take the per diem
deduction based on the city of training. If you are not paid a per diem (excluding
initial training) you generally will not qualify for this deduction.
You may also have additional expenses for your time in training. Transportation
expenses, housing, cell phone, etc. We have done our best to break down each
type of training below for you to benefit from this deduction.

Job Search
Due to the instability of the airline industry, more and more of our clients are having job search related expenses. Your cost of finding a job within the airline industry is deductible. What does
this mean? The job search expenses of finding another position within the same industry are deductible, the job search expenses of looking outside of the airline industry are NOT deductible.
This is one of those IRS regulations that sometimes does not make sense. If you are a flight attendant and update your resume or fly to an interview, these expenses are deductible. If you
do the same for another position outside of the industry, such as a retail position or professional job, these expenses may not be taken as a deduction.
Several of our clients have requested a deduction for the purchase of a new suit or professional attire for the interviewing process. Although this is an additional expense to you, it is not
a recognized deduction by the IRS. The only type of clothing that is deductible is that which has a company logo or insignia, such as a uniform.

If you were based at a foreign domicile for any part of 2015, you
have a couple of options in filing your income tax return. You
can receive a credit for any taxes that you have paid to a foreign
country and/or you may qualify to claim a Foreign Income
Exclusion for a portion of the income you earned. Chances are
you will be able to take advantage of both of these situations
to reduce your tax obligation to the US.
Foreign Tax Credit: If you pay income tax to another country,
you may take a credit of this tax towards your US obligation. If
you were based in the UK we will need the December 15th
paystub showing London PAYE tax paid (US dollars) to deter-
mine the amount of foreign tax paid for the year..
Foreign Income Exclusion: The IRS allows you to exclude income
earned while on or flying over foreign soil. Income earned while
flying over international waters or the US is tax as earned in the
US. In order to exclude the foreign portion of your earned in-
come, you must qualify as a Bona Fide Resident of a foreign
country. To qualify, you must be out of the U.S. for one complete
calendar year—January 1 to January 1. For example, if you
were not based in LHR until July of 2015, you will not be able to
file your 2015 Federal Income Tax Return until January 1 of 2017.
Your qualifying period to meet the Bona Fide Residency Test is
January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2017 You will need to file a special
extension until this qualification can be met - which we can file
for you. You do not have to be based in the same foreign coun-
try to meet this qualification, just out of the U.S. In order to claim
the income exclusion you must also pay income tax to the
foreign country where you claim residency - if that country
requires you to do so.
Duty Time Apportionment: If you qualify as a Bona Fide resident
of a foreign country, we will have to calculate the amount of
income that is taxable to the US by a process called Duty Time
Apportionment. We must have a copy of your Year End Audit
Report providing the number of trips and each destination.
Our base fee for a Foreign Income return is $299 (income
exclusion only) and $329 (income exclusion and foreign tax
credit).

PER DIEM DEDUCTION INFORMATION
The government allows a deduction for each day that you are away from base. The IRS states that you can either itemize each layover city or you may
take a standard rate per day. It is to your advantage to provide your schedules so your per diem allowance can be calculated based on your specific
flying. The IRS will not allow a mix of schedules and days flown! All schedules must include three-letter layover city codes, dates and times of each trip.
Provide all 12 months of Flight Schedules —OR— complete the Log Book Grid
PER DIEM PAID
We must have the non-taxable per diem amount you were paid! This amount may be found on your W-2 next to the
