Deductions & credits

if your purpose for going to the conference for church leaders, you can deduct the full amount.  The IRS states that The Internal Revenue Service allows you to claim airfare to a conference – or the cost of airline tickets anywhere you travel for business – as long as you're travelling for business purposes to an area outside where you typically perform your job. You may have took a scenic tour while being there and the cost of the scenic tour is not tax deductible but your airline tickets are. Please look at this IRS link for further information..
