Can only say what we do. My DW is a independent contractor and manages a professional organization, for peanuts I might add ! we/she writes off several items.
She organizes and or attends several conferences across the country, travel mileage is taken, campground fees also but only while she is at or prepping the conference ,not all the time . She also meets with local Members meetings representing the organization and taking mileage ($.58 a mile) to those things also. Most of our travel mileage is deducted as she is always scheduling meetings along our travel. She also fly's sometimes out of state when its not possible to travel in the RV. SF to NY for example ,If those expenses (air car rental hotel )are not reimbursed they are all written off. We do not use the RV as a office expense ...or depreciation just too much trouble.My weak understanding is it causes issues when you sell or trade the RV Her non employee contractor income is low enough that its almost all written off with just those small items .Most of what she does is like a volunteer being reimbursed
We had a tax consultant go through all the items the first year she started her "job"
I agree you should also.
