"You can deduct travel expenses paid or incurred in connection with a temporary work assignment away from home." As long as it is less than 1 year?
These types of expenses are deductible for self-employed people and for members of the National Guard and armed forces reserves. The deduction for regular employees was removed in 2017. See this from the instructions for form 2106.
Use Form 2106 if you were an Armed Forces reservist, a qualified performing artist, a fee-basis state or local government official, or an employee with impairment-related work expenses. Employees who do not fit into one of the listed categories may not use the Form 2106 due to the suspension of miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to the 2% floor under section 67(a). Section 67(g) suspends miscellaneous itemized deductions for tax years beginning after 2017 and before 2026. See the flowchart in these instructions to find out if you must file this form.
