Tax deductions

[FlickerFade]

How about this: My company has me sign a tax form that documents my home and therefore state taxes be taken out in the state I live in (not where I am based). That's my "Tax home". Now I have to commute to another state to begin my trips and I have a crash pad.

Is this different regarding deductions?

What if you perform another Job while at the crashpad.....Ie. Sell Real Estate while at the crash pad

My previous tax preparer was ex-IRS auditor (not sure why he left, but probably $$)

He said 6 months after a base change all commuting expenses were allowed - whether the move was voluntary or involuntary.

After this period - you are "deciding to commute" and can no longer deduct expenses. I could swap bases easily and we would document base change dates. I wrote off 6 months every year and sometimes all 12 months (2 base swaps).

Never got audited, so LTBB.

Just my experience - if it helps.
