Lodging (or a holiday accommodation) is a type of residential accommodation. People who travel and stay away from home for more than a day need lodging for sleep, rest, safety, shelter from cold temperatures or rain, storage of luggage and access to common household functions. Lodgings may be self catering in which case no food is laid on but cooking facilities are available. Lodging is done in a hotel, hostel or hostal, a private home (commercial, i.e. a bed and breakfast, a guest house, a vacation rental, or non-commercially, with members of hospitality services or in the home of friends), in a tent, caravan/camper (often on a campsite). In addition there are make-shift solutions. Sleeping is typically done lying in a bed, or more generally on a soft surface, such as an air mattress, a couch, etc. Some trains have sleeping cars. Sometimes people sleep sitting, because lying is not possible, such as in a train (if not in a sleeping car), a bus, a seat in a waiting room or a bench on the street or in a park. Inclinable seats allow something between sitting and lying. Whether lying on a row of seats is possible and comfortable depends on the presence of arm rests, and whether they can be moved up. In some public places, lying would be possible, but is not permitted. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How do I claim food and lodging if I stay somewhere 5 days a week. Will this change my principal residence? Q. I have been working 80 miles away from my principal residence for 14 months now. My temporary relocation is in the same state. I pay rent over there and stay there 4 nights 5 days a week. How can i claim this food and lodging? How should I do so to not lose my first time home buyer tax credit? What if I spend more time (physical hours) in my home than my job home? Asked by josh - Thu Jan 14 12:56:26 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's over a year, so it's not considered temporary any more, so you can't claim the expenses, and your first time homebuyer's credit is gone and will need to be repaid since it's no longer your principal residence.

My son in law purchased a small trailer and parks it in a campground when working out of town for his job. He works construction out of town for the entire year and only comes home on weekends. Can he depreciate the cost of the trailer for his lodging use? It stays on the job and is used solely for that purpose. Asked by Hawaiian Nut - Sun Jan 31 21:21:52 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. No. His home is wherever the trailer is. He is considered to be living in his hom and that's a personal expense. Even if he maintains a second home and returns to it, the tax home law prevents him from claiming any of this as travel expense. Construction workers routinely tell each other this is deductible and ALL are shocked when they are audited. Warning, tro claims to be a tax pro, but appears to have never read and IRS publication.
