I have (too many) part-time jobs teaching at several universities. On two days of the week last semester, my class lasted until 11 pm. The following morning, classes at a nearby university started at 8 am. I have a 75 minute drive home, then (at least) 90 minutes back during rush hour. Throw in time to eat dinner and breakfast (actually, I do that while driving, but don't tell anyone), grade, prepare lessons (but no time to shower!) and I would get very little sleep. Instead, I stay at a motel. Is the motel deductible?

Note that TurboTax has added the dreaded (by me) Sked C EZ, probably because of a 1099-MISC from one of my other part-time jobs (hey, I gotta put food on the family!) tutoring. But the university jobs sent me W-2s.

If the answer is yes, where do I deduct them?

Second, since I already filed my federal, do I now have to figure out an amended return? (Actually, I know the answer to that.)
