Tax questions

What flight attendants ask about taxes.

Flight attendants can typically deduct: uniforms and alterations, dry cleaning and laundry for work uniforms, layover meals above the federal per diem rate, luggage and travel gear used for work, union dues and professional fees, job-related education and training, work-related phone and internet, and home office expenses if applicable. Every situation is different — always confirm with a tax professional who understands aviation employment.
Yes — but only the portion above the federal per diem rate for that city. The IRS sets per diem rates by location. If you spend more than the per diem on meals during a layover, the excess may be deductible. Track every meal receipt and the city you were in. CrewCierge logs the date and location automatically when you add an expense.
Generally yes — work uniforms that are required by your employer and not suitable for everyday wear are deductible, along with the cost of maintaining them (dry cleaning, alterations). Keep every receipt. CrewCierge has dedicated categories for Uniforms & Clothing and Uniform Maintenance so these are tracked separately for your CPA.
Union dues were suspended as a federal deduction under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for employees through 2025. However some states still allow the deduction on state returns. This is an area where a tax professional who knows aviation is essential — rules vary and may change. CrewCierge tracks your union dues regardless so you have the records ready.
Yes — luggage, crew bags, tote bags, and packing accessories used for work travel are generally deductible as unreimbursed employee business expenses. Keep your purchase receipts. Add them to CrewCierge under the Travel Gear & Luggage category so they are ready at year end.
Not yet — but we are building toward it. Right now the Tax Tracker captures and organizes all your expenses and exports them in formats your CPA or TurboTax can use directly. Coming soon: a connection to tax professionals who specialize in flight attendant returns, right inside CrewCierge.
At any time during the year — or at year end — you can export all your logged expenses as an Excel spreadsheet (two tabs: full list and category summary), a PDF report formatted for your CPA, or a CSV file that imports directly into TurboTax. One click, all formats.
The IRS accepts digital copies of receipts. When you scan a receipt into CrewCierge, the image is stored with your expense record. Keep the digital copy and you are covered. You do not need the paper original as long as the digital version is legible and complete. Always confirm with your tax professional for your specific situation.
