Did you know that you can deduct conference expenses from your taxes?

If you are paying for the conference out of your own pocket, you can deduct the expenses from your taxes.  Registration fees for educational conferences are 100% deductible if the education provided maintains or improves the skills related to the attendees trade or business.

 

Additionally, transportation expenses including airfare, automobile mileage, reasonable taxi or shuttle fares, etc. for traveling from your regular place of business to the conference are 100% deductible, as are lodging expenses 100%.  Meals are 50% deductible.  Remember to keep all of your receipts.  Of course, if your employer reimburses you for your expenses, you may not deduct them from your taxes.  For further details check with your tax professional.
