Can I deduct the cost of travel when I work remotely but have to travel to the main place of business periodically?

I work remotely and travel via plane to the headquarters. Can I deduct this as business travel?

Occasional Commute to Main Office: The IRS considers your occasional commute to your main office, which is your regular place of business, as a personal expense. Therefore, these commuting expenses aren't normally deductible

Travel to Temporary Work Location: If you travel to a temporary work location away from your main place of business, those expenses may be deductible. The travel must be for business purposes and the work assignment should be temporary (generally less than one year).

For more detailed information, you can refer to the IRS guidelines on business travel deductions.

@julia-yzaguirre if you are a W-2 employee, it is a hard "NO".  You can not deduct any business expenses.
