EXPENSE LOG:
LIST OF OTHER EXPENSE SUGGESTIONS FOR CREW MEMBERS
We provide these suggestions for your column A deductions on form 2106 as a guide only. We try to ensure that these are correct but recommend that you check with your tax consultant for advise as other factors may apply. Please note: typically, items for uniform expenses must clearly identify you as a crewmember and are not for off duty use.
