Pasadena, CA — HRCrossing has long helped job seekers with their job search needs, and now our site can also help its members with their taxes! HRCrossing would like to let members know that they may qualify to write off any job-seeking fees; this includes membership fees to HRCrossing.
Searching for a job is hectic enough, so why not take advantage of such a great opportunity? According to the 2006 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 529 regarding job-search expenses, “You can deduct certain expenses you have in looking for a job in your present occupation, even if you do not get a new job.”
The deductible expenses vary and on further research include a variety of things such as employment and outplacement agency fees, money spent on putting together and mailing copies of a resume to prospective employers, and job-seeking transportation and travel costs.
“This is beneficial information for our members. I hope all job seekers note this when filing their upcoming taxes,” said CEO A. Harrison Barnes. “It’s important for job seekers to have an incentive like this. It is good information that they can take and use while working toward their future career goals.”
The monthly fee for HRCrossing is $29.95. This allows users to search for jobs through our job board which includes literally hundreds of jobs in the HR sector. HRCrossing staff members work hard to bring you the most up-to-date job search site around. On top of that, HRCrossing includes articles that focus specifically on the HR industry, allowing job seekers to keep updated on the latest trends.
