CDL training program

Can you claim the expenses of a paid CDL training program that is provided by a trucking company?

CDL training program

no - you were reimbursed for the expense by the trucking company.

 

if you meant you paid for the training and were not reimbursed

1) if you are a W-2 employee, then no, it can;t be deducted 

2) if you are self-employed, you can deduct it as a business expense. 

 

 

CDL training program

even if self-employed and paid the fee you cannot deduct the expense to inyially qualify for the CDL. this would have to be additional training after you obtained it.
