Questione giuridica chiave
Whether weekly residence expenses were deductible as necessary professional costs
Decisione estratta
Weekly residence costs are deductible only if the commute is objectively unreasonable; here a commute of 45 to 75 minutes was still reasonable, so the deduction was denied.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that weekly residence expenses follow the same necessity test as other professional costs. Since the spouses chose to divide the commuting burden and the commute remained objectively manageable, the requirement of necessity was not met.
