Job hunting expenses are deductible on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, and are subject to the 2% of AGI rule. Job search expenses incurred in looking for a new job in the taxpayer's present occupation are deductible, even if you do not get a new job.
The expenses would not be deductible in a new occupation, a long break between the last job and looking for a new job, or looking for a job for first time. The items are: newspapers for classified ads, traveling from employer-to-employer or agency-to-agency same day, resume printing, meals, cell phone expense, office supplies.
