Is the lapse moody from commercial operation associated transport to the eighth month mark still the commercial operation expense?
GS asked:
I live in Austin, Texas as well as was in San Francisco for a couple of days upon business, as well as had a eighth month in Europe programmed right after that. In sequence to save me a little roving time as well as income (I am self-employed) we flew to my eighth month end (Germany) without delay from San Francisco instead of interlude in Austin. My subject now, is which moody deliberate a commercial operation associated expense, during slightest partially? we know which which a moody from Austin to SFO is a commercial operation expense… though not certain about a lapse flight.

I wouldn’t want to try to defend this in an audit.
If the cost from SFO to Germany was the same as Austin to Germany, you will not get a deduction. If the cost from SFO to Germany was $500 more than Austin to Germany, you *might* be able to argue the $500. Get screen captures of the ticket prices. Of course, waiting until now to get the screen captures will make it more difficult to defend the costs on the day you flew.
No. You would have had to pay that for your vacation anyway.
