I work as a contractor supporting the US Embassy in Kabul.
Can I deduct the cost of airline tickets on my taxes? My company provides a travel stipend and it is taxed.
Can I deduct the cost of meals? My company provides per diem and it is also taxed.

What is your employment status? Are you an independent contractor reporting your income and expenses on a Schedule C of your tax return? Or are you an employee of a US firm receiving a W-2?

Employee business expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return due to the tax code changes for tax years 2018 thru 2025.
Thanks.
