Status: AWAITING CUSTOMER ACTION

Answer

KOK0896,
You can deduct this expense as a miscellaneous itemized expense on your Schedule A under certain circumstances. The job you are looking for cannot be in a new occupation. There should not be a significant time period between jobs. And last, this job cannot be your first job.
Regards,
