Actually, I think the poster needs to provide more information to the participants on this message board. People have referenced different ideas (such as tax home, college students) but with limited facts it is difficult to give a good answer.

Working on a masters degree - full time student with a summer gig???
Summer job - does the taxpayer have a "regular" job???
Tax home - so many questions - regular place of employment???

An example of a taxpayer loss is Hantzis 638 F2d. 248 (CA1) - married full time law student in Boston - worked as an intern for the summer in NYC - deductions not allowed. Is this close to the original poster's facts? Who knows - not enough information/

Agree. That was the point of the reply post. This post is getting like a merry go round. There was enough suggestions and resources for this scenario.
