Maybe, but probably not.
The
general rule is: Educational expenses to improve your current job skills are
deductible. But learning a new job is not. Getting a real estate license, almost always means a qualification for a new job. Just exactly how does having a real estate license help you do your CURRENT job? The courses in real estate may have been helpful, and therefore deductible. But it's unlikely that the license fee is deductible.
Once you have a license and use it on your job, the annual renewal fees will be deductible. But, the cost to obtain the initial license is not.
