I always thought that for escorts, hotels would be a deductible business expense, but I recently read a post on her that you can only claim hotels if they are more than 50 miles from your house or something. Is this true? I don't/can't use my own home as an in-call so I book a room in a hotel, but now I'm wondering if I'll actually be able to claim it. I can understand not being able to claim it as lodgings seeing as I live in the same city, but isn't it the same as a massage therapist having to rent studio room, or even someone renting an office?
If I can't deduct it, would it generally be considered ok for me to declare my income as the rate that I earned minus the hotel costs? For example, to claim my income as $400, from a $500 appointment in a $100 hotel?
Thanks!!!
