My rental property is in my name. However, my husband came with me to help me with management and maintenance activities on the property, such as meeting with property management companies, making some repairs, purchasing/replacing needed items/supplies, and painting a room. Can I deduct his travel expenses and meals too?
Also, part of the trip was for managing/maintaining the rental property, and part of it was to visit family in the state. Am I correct that I can only count the days managing the property, and deduct that amount from the total travel expenses and only claim that amount on my taxes (e.g. for airfare, rental car, meals while at the rental property, etc.)?
