Airline pilots and flight attendants typically have more employee expense than those of other professions due to the travel that is required for their jobs. Because of the large amount of employee deductions available to pilots and flight attendants, they typically may receive larger refunds than normal employee taxpayers. Aircrew Taxes was created in response to a growing need to serve professional in the airline industry.

There are many IRS rules and regulations that apply specifically to the airline profession. At Aircrew Taxes, we engage in countless hours of research and practice to stay abreast of the tax issues facing aviation professionals in order to prepare an accurate tax return that deducts all the employee expenses pilots are entitled to deduct. Although you may find other firms which prepare pilot tax returns, we will exceed the service they provide by looking for deductions that you may have not considered. We want you to receive the largest refund possible and pay no more tax than the law requires.
