I'm an engineer working in the aerospace industry. I'm working as a contractor and have to travel far from my home to work at a client site. I have to rent an apartment or hotel, have to pay my own flights and car expenses, and pay my own meal expenses. My contract company considered me as an employee and reported my income on a W2. Can I claim the apartment/hotel, flight & car, and meals as per diem on my income tax since I have to maintain dual living expenses? How do I claim the expenses on my income tax? Thank you
