If you are an employee, employee business expenses are no longer deductible as of 1/1/2019 due to TCJA.
If you are self-employed, yes, as long as they do not qualify you for a new career.
You can deduct the costs of qualifying work-related education as business expenses. This is education that meets at least one of the following two tests.
- The education is required by your employer or the law to keep your present salary, status, or job. The required education must serve a bona-fide business purpose of your employer. (No longer applicable)
- The education maintains or improves skills needed in your present work.
However, even if the education meets one or both of the above tests, it is not qualifying work-related education if it:
- Is needed to meet the minimum educational requirements of your present trade or business, or
- Is part of a program of study that will qualify you for a new trade or business.
