If you're an employee but your boss don't pay for your work-related professional licenses, the good news is those costs qualify as an unreimbursed employee expense. The bad news is that unreimbursed employee expenses can be written off only to the extent that they exceed 2 percent of your adjusted gross income. However, you can combine your license costs with other unreimbursed employee expenses, such as dues to professional societies or the cost of subscriptions to trade magazines related to your work.
