Im employed as a Home Care Aide to my elderly father. As he lives in a different (lower class) neighborhood with almost nothing he needs locally, Im required to purchase a bus pass. I use the pass to not only go to and from work, but to travel to get whatever provisions, food, medicine, and supplies that he requires. Getting these things without a buspass would be impossible as the cost would consume most of my paycheck. Im also required to maintain an active cell phone for the app used to calculate my total hours worked. Are these things deductible?
