Commuting tax deduction
My wife lives in WA state and is employed by the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS. Once a month she travel to Lawrence for a week. Can this travel expense be a tax deduction
No. The IRS considers this commuting, even if you travel a long distance, which is not deductible.
Business travel is only deductible if it is ordinary and necessary. Living so far from her workplace is not either.
