It is deductible only if you itemize your deductions and only to the extent that it exceeds 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. For example, let's say that your adjusted gross income is $30,000. 7.5% is $2,250 so you can deduct only $750 ($3,000 in expenses less the $2,250 that is not deductible).

Not unless you itemize - and unless you have a significant amount of other allowable itemized deductions, probably not. If you itemize, you can't deduct the whole $3000, you'd have to subtract 7.5% of your income and could only deduct the amount that's over that.

Possibly. It depends on what percentage of your income that is.
