H.R. 4967 — To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow for deductions for the performance of certain services by a taxpayer, and for other purposes.

This bill allows a deduction from gross income (above-the-line deduction) for expenses incurred by an employee if such expenses are for construction tools, personal protective clothing and gear, and other expenses necessary for the employee to be able to work. This allowance is an exception to the general rule that employee expenses are not deductible business expenses.
