Job hunting expenses can be tax deductible

Unemployed job seekers are entitled to some tax breaks, but most people have only a hazy idea of what they are.

Let’s say you’re out of work and buy new clothes — and, while you’re at it, get a new haircut — for job interviews. Then suppose you use your home office as a base, and travel to meet with prospective employers. In the evenings, you’re taking classes to learn new marketable skills outside your current field. It’s all tax-deductible, right?
