You can't write off training. you need to get
incorporated. I'm a business entity and if/when the company i work for
won't pay for training, you can bet it will get written off on my taxes, that
includes all of the oracle books, OCP exams, you name it, it gets deducted as a
legitimate company expense.
2 years ago the company i was working for didnt want to send
me to openworld(and I knew i'd be leaving in less than 2months anyways), so i
ate the cost and wrote the entire trip off.

>>>Patrice,There is "resistance" to any training that I feel is
necessary to further my knowledge and/or enhance my understanding of the Oracle
processes. Even though I have money in the budget for such items I have to
submit a business case defining the gains to the company and after completing
the course with a passing grade the company will reimburse me the expenses for
the course only. I also have to sign a waver that I will pay the company back
the full cost of the course if I leave their employment before 365 days.
Needless to say I pay for everything myself and hope to write it off on taxes if
they ever get the bill signed into law.ROR mª¿ªm >>>

curiosity, how many days / weeks of real training did youremployer provide
you with in the last couple of years?"real" is in quotes, I don't mean
the little 1 - 3 day seminars given byCareerTrack and other "training"
companies, or management-related stuff likelittle MBA-flavoured certificates
from universities.Oh, and did the amount of training you received match
what you were toldduring your job interview?Regards,Patrice
