Climber.com is not a Scam!

Posted: February 4th, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Welcome | No Comments »

At some point we knew this would happen.  Climber.com has grown fast and now we have some people who are trying to copy our success.  One of them identifies themselves as Climber.com and then tries to sell a resume upgrade.   We do not offer resume creation services, duh..

Check out this post:  Climber.com Scam

Cheers,

Mike

Are Job Search Expenses Tax Deductible?

Posted: February 3rd, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Updates | Tags: , | No Comments »

Over the last few months Climber.com has been asked this question dozens of times.  The good news is in most cases yes, so tell your candidates to keep their receipts and don’t be afraid to spend some money on a resume makeover or marketing themselves.

According to H&R Block your job search expenses are deductible if :

* You look for a job in the same field.
* You are looking for a job at a similar level to your most recent job.
* The total of all of your miscellaneous itemized deductions is more than 2% of your over Adjusted Gross Income.

Aaron Garabedian from The Garabedian Group, an accounting and consulting firm in Fresno, CA, explained it in plain English, “For instance if have been out of work for six months and your total adjusted gross income for the year is $25,000, you would need your total miscellaneous itemized deductions to be more than $500.  This is the total of all miscellaneous deductions not just job search related, some other miscellaneous itemized deductions are professional or union dues, work tools, protective work clothing and tax preparation fees.” might be mortgage interest or property taxes.

Here are the items that you can generally deduct:

* Employment agency fees (like
Climber.com ):  If your fees are repaid by an employer in a later tax year you will have to declare the reimbursement as income.

* Resume Preparation – Marketing: Printing, postage, advertising and other fees associated with creation and distribution of your resume.

* Travel:  non-reimbursed airfare, automobile mileage, meals and lodging are all covered.

Tax Tools and Services to help with your taxes:

* H&R Block – Helpful Online Tax Preparation:

* TurboTax Online -  The fastest way to file online:

* No-Cost Taxes Online-  No cost and low cost tax filing:

* Income Tax Calculator – Calculate your Income Tax online:
