If it qualifies as legitimate business related travel, then> research, and then comes back home? it would be deductible. Be aware that the IRS questions these types of activities.

Travel to and from? also negates any "travel" deductions because you aren't "traveling", it's where you live. There aren't any deductions for personal living expenses allowed as a business expense. -- Paul A.

| Expenses for artists/writers questions Ok, lets say I am a longtime journalist, both freelance and staff. But then I take a year or so off and move to Paris to write a novel about Paris. What can I deduct underwhat circumstances? What if I need 10 years to finish the book? When do I take research deductions? And what are the deductions? Rent? Travel to and from? << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |
