Client 1099-misc expenses

[robertpoissant]

My client includes reimbursed travel expenses that I paid on my 1099-MISC under Box 7 included with my actual income. I can then put these specific expenses on my Schedule C. Can my client write off these specific expenses on their end as well?

Yes, your client can write off those specified expenses on their tax return. On your tax return, as you mentioned above, you are entering the reimbursed travel expenses as income, and then deducting those expenses on your Schedule C, thereby creating no income or loss for that transaction; the transaction nets to zero.
