Hello
I have a question re: self employment taxes you may have responded to earlier. I need clarification if you will allow.
I am self employed for part of the year where I travel away from home to another state and only do that job.
A company pays for my lodging and car. I pay for my meals. That lodging is my home for six months. Can I take the per diem rate for meals? I get a 1099 from the company since they pay me for my work.
I live in another state where when I return I do my other self employment business in my home. This is separate from the company mentioned above. I know I cannot deduct meals here.
Am I eligible for the per diem rate for meals when I am away from home. I am not sure if that is allowed or if the IRS will consider the apartment the company got me for the 6 months I was away from home getting a 1099 my permanent home.
Where do I put that in turbotax?
Thank you
