[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1087753, member: 43436"] Tax courts have ruled that in order for clothing items to be deducted, they must not be suitable for everyday wear. You're not likely to wear your UPS uniform the next time you go out to eat, therefore it's tax deductible (of course, we don't pay for them ... but this is for illustration purposes only). However... you could reasonably wear those $200 pair of Red Wing shoes to dinner, therefore they're not tax deductible, even if you use them exclusively for work. Just like cell phone... you're able to deduct only the portion that represents actual business use. So, at most, drivers would qualify for a couple bucks (literally)... but even that's questionable since UPS doesn't require (but sorta encourages) cell phones. Cell phones deductions are popular among drivers but also one of the primary flags to an audit. [/QUOTE]
