I attended continuing education that required travel. A friend of mine also attended. He booked the hotel under his name and paid with his credit card. We shared the room and I paid for half, by writing him a personal check. Can I deduct my half of the hotel fee? I have a copy of the hotel receipt which is in his name, and I also have a copy of the cleared personal check that I wrote for exactly half the amount of the hotel. The hotel receipt has only HIS name on it though.
