Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to IRS guidelines, business-related travel expenses including airfare, lodging, and meals are deductible if they are necessary and ordinary expenses for the business trip. In this scenario, Eileen traveled to Rome for a business meeting and her airfare was necessary and ordinary for her business purposes. The two days touring Italy may not be deductible as they were not directly related to her business purpose, but the airfare is still deductible.
