Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option A is incorrect because lodging is not considered a qualified work expense that can be excluded from income. However, options B and C are correct. According to the IRS Publication 463, “Travel, Gift and Car Expenses,” Anthony can exclude the cost of meals if they are incurred while he is away on a temporary work assignment. Also, the fuel used to power the boat is considered a qualified work expense that can be excluded from income. Therefore, option D (b & c are correct, not a) is the most accurate statement.
