What tax breaks do HH nurses get?

I know that I can subtract my mileage from my taxes since the company does not reimburse us for any mileage or any car expenses. Is there anything else we can deduct? Supplies? Uniforms? Thanks!

If you itemize deductions, it comes under schedule A misc. ded. (anything above 2% of AGI). You can deduct anything used for work. My hha doesn't supply tympanic thermometer covers so I buy those, nursing license fee, journal fee, professional organization fee, resource books, education to further your career in your present job, uniforms, etc. Remember that it doesn't equal out to getting all of that money back, it reduces your taxable income.
