., for the business days are deductible—not for the personal vacation days.On the other hand, with respect to the cost of the travel itself (plane fare, etc.), if the trip is “primarily” business, the travel cost can be deducted in its entirety and no allocation is required.

@Paul Sandhu with respect from what I know to be true is that the average american has an income right around $30,000 per year (I know when I was working at Franklin Templeton Investments I was making a whole lot more but we are not talking about people like me, we are talking the "average"), My sister worked for the FDIC and I know she was making like $73,000 a year as one of there agents (she said she makes about average) who traveled to different banks to either get them back into regs or close them down (a whole lot of banks are outside their 3 month late payment so if there was ever a run on banks about 1/3rd of banks in America would not be FDIC insured), I can't speak for travel nurse directly but if the average nurse working in a hospital is making around $80,000 a year and there are 200,000 gypsy nurses I am thinking that focusing on furnished rentals with a 30 day minimum is a great way to get around uppinty pin heads who are looking for something to complain about and local regulations, and I think that by marketing to people who by the nature of the work they do are forced to reallocate is the smartest way to get more renters with less vacancies.
