The Internal Revenue Service allows taxpayers to deduct their qualified employment-related expenses if they were ordinary and necessary. Hospital employees required to wear scrubs can deduct their costs of purchasing them and any incidental laundering or dry cleaning costs. Employees can only deduct their clothing expenses as miscellaneous uniform deductions on their Form 1040, Schedule A. They must also attach IRS Form 2106, Employee Business Expense or IRS Form 2106-EZ, Unreimbursed Employee Business Expense. The IRS allows employees to deduct their qualified employment-related expenses if they exceed 2 percent of their adjusted gross incomes, and only if they itemize their deductions.
