What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Federal
Say a person was a sworn police officer. They have "collateral" duty as a member of the mounted patrol. They train while on duty once a month and have a two week class (where they are paid) once a year to maintain their skills. Then at events and for crowd control and the like they are mounted officers.
While their regular units are to give them the time to do these things as best as possible, there is a good amount of overtime related to the mounted duties.
What expenses would be deductible? Where would you deduct it?
(Special horse patrol equipment? [Such as a longer baton etc.] Mileage to the varying venues? Horse trailer? Depreciation on the horse? Vet bills? Feed?)
