Temporary Job Assignment & Deducting Living Expenses

I accepted a new position with my company in a new field in 2018. This was contingent upon me temporarily coming to the market where my new department was to meet people, learn and build relationships. I was allowed to stay and work from my home until the end of the year as we were having a child in August.

We sold our home at the end of 2018 to allow us to afford the changes of my temporary move south. My wife and sons lived at her sisters house. I moved south to North Carolina.

 

I spent all of January in a corporate apartment which was entirely paid for by my employer. Feb 1st 2019 I moved into a rental home with a six month lease to accommodate my 39 week requirement to work in the North Carolina market. In June we purchased another house in Ohio as I was nearing the end of my lease and assignment. My wife moved into that home in June, and I moved in at the end of July. The entire temporary living lasted from December 1st 2018 thru July 31st 2019. My wife and sons would travel back and forth. She continued to work for her employer with a six month temporary scenario allowing her to work from home when needed (when she traveled to NC). I have an email to show his arrangement.

 

Am I able to deduce my rent, utilities, mileage, moving expenses (uhaul/storage), and food per diem?
