Are unreimbursed travel expenses to attend scientific conferences (as Invited speaker) qualified as deductible business expenses?

I am emeritus professor and an active scientist; I am invited to conferences for which my university does not provide support.

Deductions & credits

UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019

 

No - Unfortunately, job-related expenses for most employees are no longer deductible for tax years 2018-2025

.

The only employees that can deduct expenses now are:

  • Armed Forces reservists
  • Qualified performing artists
  • Fee-basis state or local government officials
  • Employees with impairment-related work expenses
