OT -- training
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

>>>Just out of 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 BoivinSystems Analyst
