You can claim a travel deduction if you have lived, on a permanent basis, in one or more prescribed zones for a continuous period of at least six consecutive months. That period can begin or end in the tax year for which you are filing a tax return. You can claim a travel deduction for trips for which you or a member of your household (or, under proposed changes, an eligible family member) incurred travel expenses.
Generally, you can only claim this deduction for a trip taken for vacation, family, or medical reasons and that started from a prescribed zone. Under proposed changes, you can claim this deduction only for yourself and an eligible family member.
