Iceman Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I was also wondering about an IFR rating, has anyone here had the chance to write that off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__________ Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I was also wondering about an IFR rating, has anyone here had the chance to write that off? If you did the IFR course through a credited flight school then you should get the tuitions credits for the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper76 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I did my IFR rating at Pro IFR and they sent me a tax form in the mail and was able to write off the cost. If my memory serves me correct I was only able to write off a certain % each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can write off your medical, licensing/transport fees, helmet, aviation GPS, maps & publications. Travel to work can also be claimed if your employer requires you to work away from head office (which most helicopter pilots do). To claim all this, you must itemize a list, take it to your company and have them fill out a T2200 form. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Translation Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I am planning to write off the helmet this year, under salaried employees/supplies. This looks like a pretty safe bet with the T2200 form. As for the medical and TC fees, the only allowance for this appears to be under commission employess/licences. It's debatable whether flight pay is considered commission however. Are most pilots writing off medical fees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-rex Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Unless yourself/family combined medical expenses are over $2000 per year, you are wasting your time. You can submit your $120 medical but you will not see anything come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDIE Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I write my medical off as a professional expense and never have been questioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
