second home due to job requirements

Apr 15, 2008 1 Replies

If my home is in one state, but I work & maintain a second apartment in another state 700 miles away, can I claim the rent as a business expence or otherwise off my taxes? I do not want to move until my first home sells and if I still have a job.

I don't see anything that points to the job as being temporary (meaning lasting less than one year), or that you plan to keep and return to your existing/old home after that job assignment ends.

So no. Tis sadly a personal expense.
