Yes. If you are self-employed, when YOU pay for a background check to do your work, the back ground check would be tax deductible in the expense section of TurboTax. In general, expenses that are ordinary and necessary for you to do your business, that you pay for, you can deduct.
Additionally, IF the school pays for them and then includes the amount they paid as income on a 1099 they issue to you, you can then deduct the background check that they paid for because it is still being included in your income so it is similar to you paying for it.
