Nice work here. The nomad world definitely needs a "Deductions for Dummies"! It might be out of scope, but trying to find out about niche travel deduction stuff that only really affects digital nomads on the move is what keeps me up at night. If my tax home is in New York and I happen to be in Tokyo doing the DN thing, and I fly to San Francisco for a conference, can I deduct the full flight, or do I need to estimate the NYC -> San Fran flight? If I do a stopover in Honolulu for a week, can I deduct both Tokyo -> Honolulu and Honolulu -> San Fran? What about if I meet a client in Jamaica (who is not from Jamaica) for a week long retreat where we're working on a project 30 hours/week? Can I deduct flights/food/accom for that too? These are all things I'm trying to figure out now, and if you could address those kinds of niche concerns to DNs, I think this could be a massively valuable resource.

@sean_casey Thanks for the challenging use cases of a worldly DN, Sean! Our hope is to engage tax advisors on the site, including through the discussion boards at the bottom of each deduction. Could you post these scenarios here?: http://99deductions.com/deductio...

I see lots of options for rideshare/Uber but I'm curious if this is applicable to services like Turo (renting your car like AirBnB). I did a tiny bit of digging and didn't feel like it was easy to find...

@grahamg4rdner Thanks for your feedback, Graham! Agreed, I think we can do a better job for Turo/RelayRides and related.
