What makes you think these are deductible?

Schedule C is not appropriate.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

These are employees who also get per diem (a type of reimbursement consideration), so which expenses are you trying to include?

It used to be that only pilots passed around these urban tax legends. Now it's FA's? That's what happens when their hours are cut.

$54 billion in federal welfare payments to the airline industry so they can keep paying pilots, flight attendants and other employees even when no one wants to travel.

The thanks that taxpayers get? Flight attendants want to deduct stuff that went away in 2017.

@Jose1

You just started the same issue as a new topic.

You keep asking about what you call "actual expenses."

But unless this person Owns the airline, they seem to be an employee. What are your "Actual Expenses" that you feel should be tax deductible?

Instead of starting fresh again, why not fill in the missing info right here?

When I said actual expenses I referred to: parking, uniforms,tolls,travel expenses,work-related equipment cost, training

"Categories of Employment

You can deduct unreimbursed employee expenses only if you qualify as an Armed Forces reservist, a qualified performing artist, a fee-basis state or local government official, or an employee with impairment-related work expenses."

Are you sure the travel costs are not reimbursed by the employer?

Are you sure the parking and tolls are not part of commuting to their place of work?

Was the training cost to get a different job, to get or stay licensed, or to change careers?

Are you up to date on the Regulations that apply, as changed by the Tax Cut and Jobs Act 2017?

Have you done your research at irs.gov?
