Some important tax tips for healthcare professionals include
- Initial Education: The high cost of your healthcare education may qualify you for an American Opportunity Credit (AOC), which allows a credit of up to $2,500 per year per student during the first four years of a degree program. If you don’t qualify for the AOC, you may qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit, which allows a credit of 20% of tuition and fees paid to attend a college or trade school up to $2,000. If neither credit applies, then it is possible the course qualifies for the tuition and fees deduction.
- Continuing Education: Certified professionals may be able to deduct work-related courses or seminars if they meet certain requirements. Continuing Medical Education (CME) tuition, lab fees, course materials, CPR certification and re-certification and certain travel costs can all be deducted. Courses that are part of a program that will qualify you for a new role, or that help you meet the minimum education requirements for your program, are not deductible.
- Work-Related Expenses: Under the 2018 Tax Reform, W2 wage earners are no longer able to itemize their non-reimbursed business expenses on their federal tax return. Contact your tax advisor to see how this affects your tax return.
