Did you travel for business reasons?

Traveling to go to an internal meeting, so yes.

You can't expense it. You can get some sort of compensation for the miles that were in excess of your normal commute.

If you traveled for business reasons, you can certainly expense it. Why would this be a question at all?

There's a difference between expenses for commuting and expenses for intra-day business travel. Consultant 2 is either trolling you or doesn't know what he's talking about.

D2 knows. Everyone else would get flagged.

You can't expense that. Have fun getting audited.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.
