<prompt> Human: Hi everyone,I teach a night class at a large university which has zero public parking near the area where I teach. I typically pay 8 to 10 dollars every time I park. Over the course of a semester, Ill have paid a few hundred dollars. Can I claim that as a legitimate business expense on my taxes?Thanks  <response>: You can use pretax dollars on parking, up to 250 a month is allowed to be used this way. But it has to be paid for via employer benefits similar to health insurance payments. Check with your HR if they have arrangements to do so.Edit: this could save you 20 to 30 on parking costs depending on your highest tax tier.
