tax and application fee - joe55

[ArchivalUser]

Can someone tell me if I can claim the fee for application in my tax. I have claimed for step one and two and I received six hundred boxes back. Thanks.

if you did it successfully for step1 and 2, then it should work this time also.
how did you claim it for your first two steps?
thank you

@joe55: are you not a US citizen?

[ArchivalUser]

I just tell the person filling out the tax but I request in advance receipt of the money I spent for my exam from ecfmg . I still have those document ready in case they ask for verification

AFAIK, exam and application fees are not tax deductible...

[ArchivalUser]

Are you sure. I got six hundred and eighty dollars for my first two steps.

[ArchivalUser]

there was a saying if the expenses for application is beyond 2% of your annual gross income, then it may be tax deductible. true?

[ArchivalUser]

At least I 'll claim step three for sure. One you work in the US you can claim it

[ArchivalUser]

you have to be a working physician already in order to claim those expenses as tax deductible, or even better, credit

I will help my neighbors pull weeds in their back yard to get those money back though
