Deductions & credits

Q. As a temporary employee I travel more than 100 miles from home received no per diem Was my travel and hotel expenses deductible?

A. Simple answer: No, as explained at the other reply.

 

But, it somewhat depends on what "temporary employee" means. If you will be receiving a W-2 for this work, then you are a regular employee, even though the job is temporary, and your commuting expenses are not deductible. 

 

But, if you are being treated as an independent contractor, and will be receiving a 1099-NEC, then the expenses are (probably) deductible as business expenses.
