I called H&R Block and talked with them about the new deductions I found, and they sounded offended. The lady who did my taxes said I wasn't on business here, but was a "transient worker" and couldn't do anything for me. She's calling someone tomorrow for advice with this. Does anyone know a good accountant who deals with travellers? I'd love to speak with them.

The thing is, i haven't really kept my receipts from my meals while here. Another traveller I work with said I am allowed 50/day for everyday I work. Ever heard of this rule? This whole tax situation really ticks me off! I spend good money for someone to do my taxes, and they can't even get it right. Thanks everyone.

I am a w2 employee. I already have 9000 in deductions from mortgage interest and other miscellaneous things. I am excited to add this to it!

My permanent tax home is MO, and I am in Hawaii, so I assume that's conlidered more than 50 miles. lol. My company reimburses me 1000 for lodging/month, but I pay more than that. Is the extra that I pay deductible? Thanks for your help.

I recently had my taxes done by H&R Block, but after talking with some other travelers at work, i have come to realize they may have missed several key deductions. What exactly are the deductions I can take? Where can I find this information so I can take my taxes back and have them redone? I feel like I may be missing out on quite a bit of a return.
