Temporary assignments must also be made by the company and may not have been your choice. So if you bid a certain city you cannot deduct any of those expenses even if you are only temporarily there. You must actually be assigned that temporary duty by the company without you actually bidding or asking for it, and then it is only deductible if you reasonalbly expect that it will be less than one year.

Commuter Tax
California is very hard core about this. I have been sent Audit letters twice by the state (LAX commuter) and DAL has a special form letter that is signed that you send back with your audit notice - it has special part that you do not do the majority of your flying within the state.

I believe NJ levies a tax of some type against you even if you are a commuter living elsewhere. They'll get their money. I'm 95% sure I paid it when I was living in ATL and based in EWR 6 years ago.
So, if you maintain a crashpad in your base which is in a state with income tax and you live in a state without income tax, you still have to pay the first state? That sucks.

If you mean by running a crashpad, I do not know how that would apply.

Actually not, everything revolves around your domicile. Worker's comp, unemployment, etc are based on where you live and pay taxes.

So if I live in Texas but my base is JFK, do I need to pay NY state income tax? From what I understand, I'll only be there periodically. With the low income, paying NY state tax would suck.
