I am a permanent resident of Arizona but had to go into New Mexico to find work.
I am trying to find something back in AZ again.
Can I deduct the hotel, meals and mileage that I've incurred since I have been in New Mexico?

Are the taxes that you pay for an airline ticket tax deductible under misc. taxes?
Thanks

Every day I go to the office and then the office assigns me a job to go to. Is the mileage I drive after leaving the office deductible?

Can the fees included on the tax for airline tickets, car rentals, and phone bill be included as itemized deductions.

I'm following up on a question someone else asked you about deducting the TAXES on an airline ticket. You said one can deduct the whole thing, but that assumes that the trip is a business expense. I would like to know if you can deduct airline taxes on pleasure trips--also lodging taxes when not business related. Thank you.

If you've purchased airline tickets and the airline goes bankrupt and the tickets become worthless and no airline will honor, can you deduct the loss of tickets on your taxes?
This is not business related.

We own a home and a motor home (second home) and have been declaring the loan interest on both in the past.
We have now decided to turn the motor home over to a Rental Agency and will share the rental income with the agency and we are responsible for the maintenance, etc.
It is my understanding that since we have no input to the business, we will only have to show the income minus expense on our Form 1040 and cannot show a loss; however, the loss can be carried over to the future years.
We will be using a 5-yr straight-line depreciation model to declare that expense.
My question is: Are we still able to deduct the loan interest paid on the motor home loan or do we loose that deduction when we turned the motor home over to the rental agency.
At that point, we still own it, we're still paying the loan monthly, but it is no longer our second home.
Although, we will be staying in it for a couple of weeks this winter.
Thanks for your help.

I owe a Mahindra Scorpio which I hired it to a company on Rs.36000 per month with driver and all the maintenance will be mine.
I want to know how much income tax will have to be deducted from this monthly Rs.36000/-?
Thank you.

I began a new career as an insurance appraiser last year. As a result, my self employment income was less than $40 with 2 listed dependents plus myself as a head of household.
My question is this. Do I have to take the car deduction for the 38,000 miles I drove for business? I qualify for the EIC, so if I don't use the deduction, my refund goes up by $3-4k.
My worry is, the IRS will see my car deduction on previous years, and require me to take it in 2010, which would mean I would owe $3k+ with penalties back.
The other easier question, is since my 2000 Mazda Protege is only worth about $2000, is it proper to receive a $10 or $12k deduction?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
William

I have taken a position as a contract employee for a ten month assignment.
The position is located several hundred miles from my residence requiring me to relocate for the duration of the assignment.
What temporary expenses may I deduct as expenses on my income tax?
Rent of an apartment?
Meals and groceries?
Periodic return trips home?
Thank you.
