Another issue that is often over looked is traveling for work in regards to state and city taxes. I have been told that you can count up the days you did not work in the city/state your business is in, and request a refund from that city/state you are currently paying. This of course would require detailed records. As I understand, instead of paying your city for 365 days worth of taxes, if you traveled for 30 days of that year, you can get a refund of the difference from what your city taxes would be, compared to what 30 days of taxes would be in the visiting city. Dang what a long sentance there. I have not tried this, nor do I even know where/ how to do this on a tax form. Last year was my first year traveling for my company. They are based in Euclid, with a city tax rate of 2.85%. So, if I went through the effort to keep track of how many days I was not working in Euclid compared to a city I was working in with a lower rate, say like 1.5%, I could request a refund from Euclid. But then, do I have to send a check to that visiting city i was actually working in on those days? These are the questions for a real tax preparer.
