Unfortunately, since his assignment lasts more than 12 months, it is not considered temporary for him to claim those expenses.

Are they reimbursing him, or giving him a stipend for this? Is he a W-2 employee, or an independent contractor? Does he plan to return to NYS at the completion of this assignment?
