tax write offs? for travelers

Published

I am trying to find out info to give to my accountant regarding what can

be written of for travelers. i am the only travel nurse he handles and he is questioning the legality of some of the things i have mentioned to him. i have heard a wide variety of what we can use from:

gas, scrubs, $10/day for meals, hotel expenses during travel, etc.

any info on this matter would be appreciated. also if anyone has a great accountant that he could speak with as a reference that would be great!

Maybe it's time to get another accountant. Sorry that wasn't nice.

Have him read the IRS pub 463 for starters. PM me for experienced travel tax preparers.
