Does that not get into some really sticky territory when you talk about "claiming travel expenses"?

Especially for guys that try to write off commuting expenses, like crash pads, etc?

I've heard of guys doing it, but it was explained to me that since you commute, you "choose" to live in one place but work in another, and that crash pads, hotels related to commuting, parking, etc can't be deducted?

Now, if your company REQUIRED that of you, and it wasn't your "choice", that's a whole different matter.
