Every time I see a post from this person, he has another "career" change. One minute he is working at Walmart; next minute he is a home health aide or something. He changes "careers" more than some people change their underwear.@johnb974 wrote:

Take a crowbar to that wallet of yours and go hire a professional tax adviser. Geesh!@johnb974 wrote:

No, because nobody in their right mind would do a shop for $13 that required you to spend $26. The absolute most you could probably get away with is $13.
You didn't answer the question, you just gave an opinion. I need an answer to the write off question.

If you asked someone at the IRS you can't be guaranteed THEY'LL give you the correct answer to your question (and they have a lot of experience dealing with tax issues). What makes you think that members of this Forum can do better than people who deal with taxes for a living?

I posted asking a question on write off for reimbursements. I looked at the shops and realized something. The $13 is a fee (payment for the shop) not a reimbursement. For this shop you are required to purchase 3 clothing items, and return 1. You are paid a fee of $13. Are the two items you have to buy, a write off? Before I thought the $13 was reimbursement, it's not. There's no cost limits on the two items you have to buy. Since it's a requirement for the assignment to buy two items, is there any limit to the amount? The fee and reimbursements are two different things for write offs.
If I buy 3 shirts for $13 each, bring back one, can I write off the $26 for the other two? Can I buy 1 shirt for $13, other for $50 and write off the full $63?
