My son is a first year marketing consultant, and received a 1099-Misc for Non-Employee compensation (box 7). He travels to their office Monday to Friday every week on public transport that cost over $13.00/day. Can he deduct the daily travel expense by multiplying all the days that he goes into the office by the $13.00? This adds up to be a large amount of money for the entire year.

Yes - as a self-employed independent contractor, he would be able to claim the any travel expenses made away from his home office (his home) even if he is not able to claim a home office expense. This is due to the fact that as an independent contractor, his travel expenses to the office would be considered his travel expenses to his first (and maybe only) client's office.
