Can freelancers deduct can you deduct travel expenses for work?

Travel expenses are deductible for freelancers when they are directly related to their business. This includes costs such as transportation, lodging, and meals while traveling away from home for business purposes. The travel must be primarily for business, and the expenses must be ordinary (common and accepted in your trade) and necessary (helpful and appropriate for your business). For example, if a freelance photographer travels to another city for a photo shoot, the travel expenses incurred can be deducted. However, if the trip is primarily for personal reasons, with only incidental business activities, the travel expenses are not deductible.
