Education

Yes, per IRS Publication 970, if maintaining your license is a requirement of your job, then you can deduct as a business expense the cost of continuing education courses required by the state. 

As ColeenD3 stated above you can deduct education as a business expense if the following requirements are met:

• The education is required by your employer or the law to keep your job
• The required education must serve a business purpose
• The education maintains or improves skills needed in your present job 
• It is not considered qualifying work-related education if
  • it is needed to meet the minimum educational requirements of your present job
  • it qualifies you for a new trade or business
