How do I enter travel expenses?

Before you enter your travel expenses (food, beverage, lodging, and transportation such as airplane, train, bus, etc. expenses), as per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA): "you should meet all these conditions: 

• You were normally required to work away from your employer's place of business or in different places
• Under your contract of employment, you had to pay your own traveling expenses
• You did not receive a non-taxable allowance for traveling expenses. Generally, an allowance is non-taxable as long as it is a reasonable amount
• You keep with your records a copy of Form T2200, Declaration of Conditions of Employment, which has been completed and signed by your employer"

If you meet all the above conditions, you can claim for your deductible traveling expenses on the “Other expenses” line of Form T777, Statement of Employment Expenses.

For more information about Traveling expenses, you can go to the CRA website to verify more details.
