Summer Internship Rent Deduction?

s About Taxes)/Summer Internship Rent Deduction? Advertisement Expert: Helen P. O`Planick, EA - 11/19/2007 Hey, I worked a summer internship in Manhattan this summer.  Since I had a primary home(my parents') that I could have lived in without charge if I had not had the job, can I deduct the rent as a business expense?  Can I deduct the price of transport to and from the internship and home?

Also, though my permanent residence is technically in Pennsylvania, I spend nearly my entire year in Illinois with the summer in New York... I spend around 6 weeks a year in PA, around 10 weeks in New York(where nearly all my employment income was earned), and the vast majority of the year in Illinois.  NY state tax was deducted from my pay check.

Where do I need to file?  Where do I pay taxes on my income from capital gains, interest, etc.?

Thanks!

You have no deductions for rent, travel or anything else.  And you will file to all states, PA, IL and NY.  PA will get all your income taxed to it(and the local taxes too) and IL and NY will prorate your income to what was earned in those states.
