Schedule C - 1099 Deductions
I work full time for a company on a W2. I got hired to work on Saturday nights as a consultant on a 1099. The contract is for 5 months. I must travel out of state for this 2nd job. I do research out of my house to prepare for the consulting job throughout the week. Most of the time I will drive but sometimes I will fly. Is my mileage or airfare 100% deductable on Schedule C? I'm confused because I have read where the first and last trip of the day may not be deductable and I only make the 1 trip on Saturday morning and then back on Sunday day. How about meals? There is no entertainment, only personal meals.
Thanks for your help.
