According to IRS topic 511- Business Travel Expenses: "Any work assignment in excess of one year is considered indefinite. Also, you may not deduct travel expenses at a work location if you realistically expect that you'll work there for more than one year, whether or not you actually work there that long."
Does this only pertain to employees or independent contractors as well? I have single client that per contract agreed to to reimburse travel expenses from my home 5hrs from project site ( hotel/meals) for life of project. Phase 1 was planned to last less than 1 year. Project has expanded to multi-year status and will require me to spend 90% of my time on-site. Will I have to pay tax on my travel reimbursement if project lasts longer than 1 year?
