Tax question for new hire training
I went through initial training with Delta last year. Is the time spent there treated the same as if I were on a trip?
Put another way, was each stretch of 4 or 5 days in ATL the same as if I were on a 4 or 5 day trip?
Normally I would say yes, but since they took GA income tax, I'm not entirely sure how the IRS treats this scenario.

Everyone is based in ATL for initial (at least according to IRS/Delta/Georgia).
After that, if you do training there but are based in DTW say, then it's per diem tax deductible as if you were on a trip.
If you are based in ATL, (even if you commute) then the IRS does not let you deduct ATL training events
If you live somewhere else, you should be able to file a "nonresident" Georgia tax return and get the money back that was withheld if it's worth your effort is another subject.

The per diem tax deduction went away under the new tax reform.

I would talk with a tax man. Income is taxed based on where it is earned not where you live. There is one exception to this. If you are a transportation worker and you can’t determine any one state where you do 51 percent of your work you may be taxed based on residence. Guys living in FL but teaching in the sim found this out the hard way.
