Hey,

I worked for a travel agency, and took an assignment hours away from my tax home, is there a way I can use the airbnb rent I paid for 6 months towards deductibles or any tax breaks?

If you are self-employed, you can claim the expense as a business expense.

If you are an employee being paid with a W-2 traveling away from your tax home on a temporary work assignment, then the rent would be considered an employee business expense claimed on Form 2106.

However, employee business expenses are no longer deductible on the Federal tax return as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Some states still recognize employee business expenses as a deduction, so it may be to your benefit to enter the information into your Federal return.
