<p>My son had to pay his regular rent as well as rent at the place he interned. Is it possible to claim one of the rent as un-reimbursed expenses?</p>
<p>Not a tax accountant…2 summers ago when D1 did an internship, she had to rent an apartment and had to pay rent at her school, she wasn’t able to claim the rent as an expense. She used our accountant to file her return, and he said no.</p>
<p>I do not believe you can do that since internship usually last only a short time. Very difficult to qualify any expense relating to the job in such situation.</p>
