As I stated in another post, I do not think that traveling to and from a client location that you *WORK* at is eligible for tax deductions. But, if you work from home. > You said you had a 'side' business before, which I took as you having a full > time job and doing SOME extra stuff at home during off hours.

I suspect he could have taken the home office deduction (and travel expenses, and plenty of other expenses) with his "side job", even if it was not his full time job. For many years of my life I juggled 3 businesses. I'd argue that none of them were full time, yet they were all eligible for deductions. -- Jeffry Houser Flex, ColdFusion, AIR AIM: Reboog711 | Phone: 1-203-379-0773 -- Adobe Community Expert <http://www.adobe.com/communities/experts/members/JeffryHouser.html> My Company: <http://www.dot-com-it.com> My Podcast: <http://www.theflexshow.com> My Blog: <http://www.jeffryhouser.com> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:3718 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Jobs-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11
