Generally, you can use the travel category to categorize expenses related to business travel as long as it is for business purposes only. Please always refer to the IRS website for the latest rules on travel deductions.
You can categorize the following types of transactions as travel:
- Air, train, or bus fare for business travel
- Hotel costs for business travel (except not meals)
- Rental car expenses
- Taxi, shuttle fares and transportation tips while out of town on business
- Gas, oil, parking fees, and tolls while out of town
- Computer rental costs when away on business
- Internet access fees when away on business
- Phone calls when away on business
- Tips while traveling (except for meal tips, which are only 50% deductible)
- Dry cleaning if you have to stay overnight for business
- Cost of shipping baggage, supplies, products, equipment necessary for business
