Foreign business travel

Varies

Can You Write Off Foreign Business Travel?

Short answer: Trips abroad over a week with 25%+ personal days require allocating airfare between business and personal days.

Travel is deductible when you're away from your tax home overnight for business; personal days and companions' costs are not.

Records to keep: Keep the receipt, proof of payment, and a note or log showing business use; for mixed-use items, track the business percentage.
