I have always done my own taxes, but this will be the first year I have been travelling to work. I've read a bit here about which expenses can be deducted while travelling, but how about if I work EVERY DAY that I am out of town...including the day I travel?
Also I maintain two homes...the one I live in one week per month (my primary residence for the past 3 years) and the one I stay in when I am out of state working the other three weeks. I have two leases and everything. Is my out-of-town rent deductible like a hotel? I started out staying in weekly hotels but I save half by renting. I stay less than one mile from my club. I signed my lease within a month of being hired. I go there ONLY to work...I never take a night off unless I am sick...I fly in and work the same night, and work every night for three weeks straight, then fly home for a week or so. I essentially work at this out-of-town club full-time and I commute. I will be doing this all year.
Any thoughts as to how I should handle my travel and living expenses for my taxes next year?
