For business purposes, in 2020 we charged an airline ticket for $1000.   The airline later refunded the $1000 in the same year. 

 

How is the expense reported on the Schedule C?  How is the refund reported?

    Easiest path is not to report the expense or the refund since they cancel each out.

    OK.

     

    The next question.  We deducted business expenses in 2019 that were later refunded in 2020 by credit card.  Are those refunds reported as income in 2020.
