Claiming work-related expenses while working on TN

Post Sat Dec 31, 2011 2:05 pm

I would like to know if I am working in Florida on TN status and planning to file taxes as a Canadian resident, can I claim any of following expenses in my Canadian Income tax return?

- Apartment rent
- Flight tickets (back and forth from Canada)
- Phone expenses
- Food, Furniture, etc.

Because I already have a home in Canada and have to spend extra cash on the above items due to my job in Florida.

Not if you are an employee.

It is your choice to keep a 2nd place far a way from your job. That would be like allowing deduction for trips to the cottage if you lived and worked in Toronto.
