yes, they can legally do this...but please be careful...if you are TRULY an IC and receive a 1099 be sure to PAY YOUR OWN WAY. In the view of the IRS, one of the characteristics of an independent contractor is that s/he pays all travel expenses directly. If you approach this as an IC you can stay where you wish, bring whom you wish, and negotiate some of the costs with your client if they are kindly offering reimbursement. I suggest you contact them and see if there are alternative web-based solutions for their non-employee ICs to receive the needed training; if not, and this is a client you wish to retain, attending the training and writing off the expenses is just part of owning your own business....
