Reserve Mounted Horse police officer. Where should I log in my expenses? I do have a regular 8-5 job that is not associated with the police dept.

I have expenses that are for myself and my horse since we are a mounted police unit

[SweetieJean]

Are you a police dept W-2 employee, or an independent contractor?

If you receive income for your work as a reserve mounted horse officer reported on a Form 1099-MISC, then your income and expenses will be reported on Schedule C.

If you receive a W-2 for your work as a reserve mounted horse officer, then your expenses will be reported on Form 2106.  Form 2106 is then included as part of Schedule A itemized deductions in the section that must exceed 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).  So, be aware that if you are not using itemized deductions or your expenses do not exceed 2% of your AGI, you may not see a tax benefit on your return. 

If you do not receive income for your work, but you do it on a volunteer basis, then your expenses can be deducted as a charitable contribution.
