FAQ.jpg

  • What could keep me from getting a security clearance?

Have you ever used drugs? Have you ever been arrested? Do you have close relatives who are citizens or residents of a foreign country? These issues and others could lead to the loss of your security clearance.

  • Do I have to volunteer information in the SF-86 questionnaire if I do not think it is asked for?  How can I prepare for the interview by the DSS agent?

It depends on the particulars of your individual circumstances.  If you are in doubt, you may wish to consult with an attorney.

  • Will my security clearance legal expenses be tax deductible?

According to J. K. Lasser, "Your Income Tax 2006," section 19.17. "A legal expense is generally deductible if the dispute or issue arose in the course of your business or employment" Lasser, supra. also says: "Your lawyer's bill should itemize fees connected with deductible items."
The above is merely general information, not tax advice. See your tax advisor regarding your individual circumstances.

  • How much does it cost?
