I do occasional shifts for a rural hospital where I am paid an additional "travel stipend" on top of my usual rate as an independent contractor. It's paid out with the rest of my rate on my 1099. I do not submit receipts to the group for reimbursement, and I keep track of my mileage/expenses as usual. Can I still take a deduction for my expenses as long as I report the "stipend" as income, or is there a more appropriate way to do this?
