My son who was a NYS resident when his company request he temp works in DC from 4/16 -12/16. Can he deduct the rent 4 his apt in DC during that time?

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?

not reimbursing him. he pays out of pocket. He will be coming back to New York shortly when his assignment is completed sometime the end of 2017 or in 2018...thanks

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