My children live in another state. If I purchased plane tickets for their visits am I able to write them off in any way?

I claim two children on my taxes.. and my ex claims the two other children. They live with my EX but visit me on their breaks. Can I use the purchasing of said plane tickets on my taxes in any way?

No. Tickets for your children to visit you would be a personal expense and is not deductible.

No. You cannot use the purchase of the plane tickets on your return in anyway.

Hi, I am a online Travel company. I purchase tickets from airlines and other agencies and then sell those tickets to customers. Where can I put those ticket expenses?
