Re: Deductions for Educational Travel

Hi,

If you can demoonstrate a business purpose to the trip, you should be able to deduct your travel expenses even if you don't get a certificate for attending CE course. The threshold to deduct foreign travel, however, is pretty high. Check out IRS Publication 463 on Travel Expenses to help determine if the cost of your trip can be deducted. This publication is available at http://www.irs.gov/publications/p463.

Zip Code: 01801
