Nondeductible Transportation Costs

Commuting to work

Trip for the general improvement of your health

Traveling to areas of favorable climates during the year for general health reasons, rather than living permanently in a locality suitable for your health

Meals while on a trip for outpatient medical treatment—even if cost of transportation is a valid medical cost. However, a court has allowed the deduction of the extra cost of specially prepared food.
