Makeup, Haircare,are not deductible on the Federal Tax return. Those are considered personal care items
Clothing is only if it is for a Uniform that you are required to wear and it can not be worn as every day clothing.

Internet and and cell phone only the portion in relation to your job

Daughters Tuition, NO, only Post secondary educational expenses (colleges, university) are deductible

The Telephone Excise Tax credit is a one time credit with a maximum deduction of 60.00 based on the number of exemptions claimed on your return.

Mortgage Interest on your home is deductible if you are Itemizing your deductions rather than taking the Standard deduction for your filing status.

Carl Said:

I modified my current job title on my resume to help with my online job search, but then I got an interview...

We Answered:

if you are worried, tell the interviewer that your title is one that you believe reflects your job duties, paid or otherwise. If you actually do that work, then it's not a lie. If you are concerned that your previous employer will catch you out, most employers just confirm that you work somewhere and the dates. very few actually give an opinion these days
