pilot141 said:Huh. A couple of guys have been encouraging me to deduct crash pad expenses on this years taxes.
So crash pads are a no-go, always? Even in an involuntary displacement scenario?
I know a lot of guys who could get caught speeding on this one.
As to the domicile thing, it has gone both ways. The Northwest guy(s) were busted while trying to claim their NW domicile as their legal residence even though they commuted. But didn't the state of Georgia try to come after all the Delta guys that worked in Atlanta but lived in other states? The pilots paid state income taxes in state X but Georgia claimed that they owed taxes there as well. IIRC the state lost that one.
So: you pay income taxes based on where you actually live.
If you choose to commute, that base becomes your "workplace" as far as expenses are concerned. So, expenses incurred while getting to or while at "work" are not deductible, much like average Joe driving to work can't deduct the cost of his mortgage or car payment.
Correct or not?
