Seasonal Ski Intructor with W2 -- Are Expenses Deductible?

I work part-time as a ski instructor and incur a fair amount of expenses including equipment, lodging, certification and annual membership fees, etc. Are these deductible?

Deductions & credits

No job related expenses are no longer deductible for W-2 employees.

Thanks for that info.

 

Are lodging or meal expenses deductible if I'm working away from my home (i.e., I need to travel away from my state to teach)?

Deductions & credits

W-2 employees cannot deduct any job-related expenses on a federal return, per the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state laws may be different.
