My son had a summer internship for which he was a W-2 employee. He also received a 1099-NEC for a flat payment he received from the employer which was supposed to reflect a reimbursement for housing/travel expenses that was incurred for the summer. He didn't submit any documentation to the company reflecting these expenses. Is he required to file a Schedule C? Can he deduct expenses incurred, such as rent paid for the summer and/or milage traveling to the job?
Thank you.
