Can I write off my workboots and uniforms if I work in a plant?

Workboots and uniforms are deductible if they are required as a condition of your employment and are not suitable for everyday wear. For example, if you work in a plant where safety boots and specific uniforms are mandatory, and these items are not adaptable to general use, you can deduct their cost as a work-related expense. However, if the clothing can be worn outside of work, it is not deductible.
