I used certs and I also claimed the books but I did it under work related expenses.

Hope that helps... Turbo tax told me to do it :P

My CPA tells me everything counts if it’s related to your business. I have written off Certs, software, hardware, training, seminar, laptops, etc… Keep those receipts and all should be ok.
