I must be missing something, because it sounds like you want to deduct the
same expenses twice: once on Schedule C and once on Schedule A via the
2106. No, you can't.

Can items on Schedule C also be listed on 2106 by real estate agent
(independent contractor) and submitted?

You get a bigger bang for your buck by deducting it on your C because it
lowers your AGI (Posible greater Medical and Miscellaneous Deductions due to
their floor) and self employment taxes

Claiming more business expenses on a Schedule C would reduce your
self-employment tax. Unreimbursed employee business expenses and
miscellaneous deductions are itemized deductions only to the extent they
exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income.

Not really a question of advantage. The correct treatment is to pro
rate the deduction based on relative incomes from each activity.

Default Where to deduct: Schedule C or Form 2106

I am an employee of a public agency and also do a little consulting on
the side. Some of my expenses, e.g., subscriptions to professional
journals, dues to professional organizations, I could claim as either
Schedule C business expenses or employment-related expenses on Form
2106. Is there any advantage of one over the other?
