Thanks for the info. Since she's still a student in the start of her career, her expenses for the performances far exceeds her pays. And her pays are under the requirement for filing a tax return as a minor. Do I still have to file her return separately in oder to deduct those music travel related expenses? In addition, she also travels for lessons (one of the professor) lives in NYC and she has to travel to him for lessons at times. The school covers for the train ride, but we have to pay for her meals on the road. Can that be deductible?
