For W2 job it would be a temporary apartment less than 12 months while I am on the job. I plan to quit after 3 months although it was a permanent government job. I rented a car and place to stay 2 hours away from my house to do the job but it is not feasible or cost effective.
The second job is a 1099 and I did that job out of state for the beginning of the year. I was paid a 1099 and got a house and car rented out so I assume I can deduct those.
I am trying to do the same thing for the W2 income from the government job that I did for the 1099 income job. It would seem that getting a W2 means you cannot be reimbursed for temporary housing if the agency that hired you will not cover that cost or the cost of a rental car.
My primary business is in the state where I live in my home which is neither of the apartments that I am renting.
Thank you
