They say we are in a recovery from the recession that nearly was a depression, but I haven’t personally seen many signs of it nor have most people. This means our frugal way of life is going to continue for a while. Fortunately, there is a way to travel abroad, claim a big deduction and do something good with your time. The most common method for finding a tax deduction when traveling is to claim it as a business expense. This is usually a humorous process where the taxpayer [that would be you and me] strain and twist to somehow justify that trip to a beach resort in Cancun was really for serious business purposes. The purpose is often one of those “conferences” that have tons of signs ups, but seem to be lightly attended when it actually comes to meeting! Well, stop bending to and fro for the tax man. I am not talking about such a vacation. Instead, the vacation we are looking at is known as a “funcation”. Yes, that is what they call them. In these vacations, you can go a number of places and do some activity. It might be hiking through Switzerland or biking through Spain. The only difference is you sign up a few friends or families to sponsor you. The more miles you do, the more they will pay to a charity of your choice.By turning the event into a charitable action, you create a tax deductible situation. There are a number of companies offering these vacations online. The total cost is usually between $2,000 and $3,000. This often does not include airfare, but make sure to check each package available. Regardless, you do get a tax deduction of around $1,000 per documentation issued by the companies. Not bad, eh?Traveling in 2010 might seem a stretch given the economic environment. It need not be. Just take a vacation that produces a tax deduction!br
