I'm a fitness instructor, I have to pay for monthly license fees, test fees to maintain licensing (and I got a new one this year). I am doing the self employed option. I work at a gym, but pay all this on my own. Question is...can I deduct these monthly fees (to keep my license current and active so I can teach) and can I deduct my recent class that I had to take to get licensed for a new specialty. If so..where do I list these? I thought maybe under the legal/professional, but I am not sure. It comes to almost $500 that would make a huge difference in deductions!
