W-2 job related expenses are not deductible. This includes any and all travel and vehicle expenses.
If you are self-employed, then travel expenses are claimed on the SCH C. See all the categories in the SCH C section of the program for business expenses. Travel expenses is one of those sub-categories.
The real question is the scenario I have given qualify for a tax deduction.
I am self employed for part of the year where I travel away from home a company pays for my lodging and car. I pay for my meals. That lodging is my home for six months. I can take the per diem rate off meals.
I live in another state where when I return I do my other self employment business (personal home). For the state in which I do not live can I deduct the per diem rate for meals which for me is about 52$ per day. This adds up to close to 12K for the time I am there. I am not sure if that is allowed or if the IRS will consider the apartment the company got me for the 6 months I was away from home getting a 1099 my permanent home.
That was my question.
Thank you
