Can You Write Off Long-term Work Assignments Over a Year?
Short answer: Assignments expected to last more than a year make that location your new tax home, so lodging and meals there stop being deductible.
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.
