Question
My husband worked out of state last year for about three months and he had to pay for his plane tickets there and back. While there the company did not pay for his lodging. So, everything was paid by him. My question is, can he claim the rental car, plane tickets, and his lodging on our taxes?
Answer
If he was an employee, he can deduct these items as itemized deductions on his Schedule A - under unreimbursed employee business expenses. A Form 2106 or 2106-EZ would need to be attached.
If he is self-employed, these expenses can be taken on his Schedule C as routine business expenses.
