Can I deduct the cost of financial publications and a safety deposit box?

For 2018 through 2025, the miscellaneous itemized deduction for investment-related costs is not deductible. Before 2018, these amounts were subject to the 2%-of-adjusted-gross-income floor. After 2026, such amounts may be deductible (assuming total costs exceed the 2% floor).

Deductions

Items directly reducing income. Personal deductions such as for mortgage interest, state and local taxes, and charitable contributions are allowed only if deductions are itemized on Schedule A, but deductions such as for alimony, capital losses, moving expenses to a new job location, business losses, student loan interest, and IRA and Keogh deductions are deducted from gross income even if itemized deductions are not claimed.
