One month after retirement as a full-time chemist, I attempted to get a similar part-time job as a consultant. May I deduct mailing, computer, phone expenses associated with this attempt?
Yes, as long as the search was for a new job in your present line of work and your expense was incurred reasonably close to the ending of the last job. They are deductible even if you do not get the new job. They are deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to the 2% of adjusted gross income on Schedule A.
