Hello
I was living in and working in North Carolina in 2016. In August I got a new job in Atlanta, GA but I kept my residency in NC as we had to sell our house before move.
From August 2016 onward I was traveling to Atlanta every Monday morning and coming back to North Carolina on Friday evening. I also rented a place to live in Atlanta, GA.
Questions
1. Can I deduct my traveling to and forth from North Carolina to Atlanta, GA as an employment expense? Of course I will not deduct the daily commute within Atlanta for work.
2. Similarly, can I deduce the expense of renting a room in Atlanta to stay as my primary residence was still in North Carolina?
3. On W2 I got for my job in Atlanta, the state listed is still NC. I still should pay GA taxes too right?
Any other pointer will be very helpful.
