Deductions & credits

Thanks... that is helpful.

But TurboTax help has this sentence:

"However, you cannot deduct these expenses if there is a significant element of personal pleasure, recreation, or vacation involved in the travel."

How much is a 'significant element'? The conference was 3 days and the tour was 5. I paid for the conference and the hotel during it. The tour was paid for separately, so those expenses are clearly divided.

What I'm trying to figure out is whether I can deduct the airfare in whole or in part.
