Re: license/usmle

Unfortunately, you may be out of luck. The best place to claim those exam fees is against your self-employment moonlighting income. If you have none of that income, the second best place is as a miscellaneous itemized deduction.

If you won't be itemizing, I'm afraid you will lose out on that deduction. And you can't carry it forward to claim in future years.
