Education

Yes, you can deduct the cost of mandatory uniform items.

An appropriate category would be:

  • Certain books, supplies, and course-related equipment

As a general rule, clothing would not be a qualified education expense, however, the military uniforms of an ROTC scholarship student attending a military college are not "optional". They are required as a condition of attendance and in the performance of the student's educational responsibilities (e.g. attending classes).
