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.
