Staying over a weekend on a business trip

Can You Write Off Staying Over a Weekend on a Business Trip?
Short answer: Weekend lodging and meals between business days are deductible if staying is cheaper than flying home, or you're stuck there for business.
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.
