I commute to Sacramento, California for work during the week and live in Burbank, California on the weekends. Can I deduct my apartment rental expenses, parking and flight for my weekly travel?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

Travel expenses paid or incurred in connection with a temporary work assignment away from home are deductible. However, travel expenses paid in connection with an indefinite work assignment are not deductible. Any work assignment in excess of one year is considered indefinite. It seems by your question that this is a permanent situation and your tax home is technically Sacramento even though you live in Burbank on the weekends in which case those expenses would not be deductible.
