    Living in one state and working in another...
    My husband is taking a 6 month contract job in Seattle, he will be W-2'd by the contract employer. We will have to get health insurance ourselves and my husband will have to pay to live and work there in Seattle. He plans on taking public transportation to get around while there. My question(s) are for the tax write offs.
    1. Can we write off his living expenses such as housing, transportation, groceries etc..
    2. Would it be tax better for him to take a residence there while working there?
    3. Can we write off the plane tickets for travel back and forth visits?

    If you have any other helpful ideas please advise.
    Thanks so much!
