Writting off travel if 50% on location anf 50% working fron home.

Hello,

Will I be able to write off my travel expenses if I work 2-3 days a week at the clients location and the rest of the week working from my home office if the contract last longer than one year? Thank you.

Assuming that you are self employed and qualify for having a home office your travel would be deductible when you complete Sch C.

if you are a W-2 employee, none of the travel is deductible as it is considered commuting miles. if you are self employed and do NOT maintain a home office, the same concept applies. 

 

if you are self-employed AND maintain a home office, it's all deductible.  There is no rule about 1 year.  it's deductible at 67 cents per mile. 

 

if self-employed, are you deducting home office expenses on your tax return?
