Deductions & credits

I live in Texas, and accepted a position with an employer whose main office is an Alabama.  They wanted me to acclimate to the company culture in Alabama before working in an office in Houston.

 

For four months, I lived in a temporary residence in Alabama.  My wife and son remained in Texas.  I paid rent and utilities in Alabama, and returned home approximately every other weekend.  I did not change my driver's license or vehicle registration from Texas to Alabama.

 

Are my expenses - rent, utilities, food, trips - tax deductible?
