While I have been happily retired for MANY years, my wife who is younger than me as begun working in a new career. Unfortunately there is no work near us so she has much more job opportunities in a major city about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away during rush hour so she rents a room not far from her job. She currently working as a contractor. Will her expenses (rent, car usages, food, work attire etc.) be tax deductible? I do want to add that the next job could be even further from our home so a room would still be necessary. I have been doing my own taxes for 20 years but have never been in a situation like this.
