Medical School visit and interview, deductable ??

I don't see any of that as a deduction, or a qualified education expense that might give rise to a deduction or credit.

This may be why, after graduation and an internship, you get to stick it to us on the fees you get to charge for services.

Why would it not be an unremibursed employee expense? Is this because it's a first job?

But sometimes these costs are deductible. In that case, they get the deduction as well as stick us with higher fees.

I don't believe they are talking about a job, but getting into school.

At the level they are at it's by interview they get accepted.

But one may get paid in medical school. If that's the case, then would the costs be deductible?

Generally educational expenses incurred to be trained for a job in a new field are not deductible. So the answer in this case is probably no.

Besides, his travel expenses are for an interview for the school, not the job.
