Write Off Your LawCrossing Membership Fees When You File Your Taxes
November 19, 2007
Pasadena, CA—Besides providing members with the most rapidly expanding and updated selection of legal jobs, LawCrossing would like to remind members that they may qualify to write off any job-seeking fees, which include membership fees to LawCrossing. 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." These expenses include employment and outplacement agency fees, amounts you spend on preparing and mailing copies of a resume to prospective employers, and job-seeking travel and transportation expenses. "This is a great benefit that all job seekers should be aware of," said CEO Harrison Barnes. "It's almost like an incentive from the government to strive toward your career goals — something many professionals should be doing." LawCrossing's monthly fee of $49.95 pays for access to the findings of hundreds of researchers, programmers, and other staff members who hunt down and post every single legal job they can on a daily basis. In addition to its constant efforts to expand the resources and amount of jobs on its site, LawCrossing also provides a series of weekly features on the hottest legal news stories and profiles of the industry's key players and faces. LawCrossing, which features a comprehensive collection of active legal jobs in the U.S., including more than 80,000 positions at top law firms, corporations, public interest organizations, and government offices, was founded in July of 2003 and has become a job-seeking staple in many legal professionals' careers.
