Can I deduct travel expenses for my business?

Short Answer: Yes, if the travel is primarily for business and you can document the purpose.

Business travel can include airfare, lodging, transportation, and some meals. Personal travel mixed in can complicate deductions.

Common mistakes:
• Claiming personal vacations as business travel
• No documentation of business purpose
• Overlooking limits and rules

What we recommend: Keep receipts and notes on the business purpose of each trip.
