<prompt> Human: Hello everyone,I have a quick question. My wife works for a hair salon that styles hair and does makeup. Many of times, this requires her to travel to wedding locations to conduct these tasks. The place of employment used to pay her a flat 25 stipend every time she had to travel. This is no longer the case as they took it away. On top of this, every time she travels to do makeup, she has to use her own supplies. Makeup gets expensive, especially when you have to use the more expensive stuff.My question is, is she able to deduct these expenses on her tax returns? Should I have her start itemizing her expenses and saving receipts so she can do so? I am very in the dark about itemizing expenses so I was hoping someone here could help.Thanks for your help!  <response>: Independent Contractor? Employee?
