Professor sabbatical teaching assignment

[Randall]

College professor went to Rotterdam for 6 months teaching assignment.  His home university paid him his salary.  I'm wondering about travel expense deduction.  Some things I've read indicate travel expenses deductible.

Does this meet the standard of temporary & indefinite ?

[Randall]

Temporary.  6 months.

This is old, but a decent article that should give you a good starting point.

Thanks for the article.  This is generally what I've been seeing too.

I live in a college town and have done quite a few in this fashion.
