I am a single-member LLC and visited a client to perform work in 2022.  I paid for the airfare, hotel, etc. and the client reimbursed me for my costs.  Is this reimbursement considered taxable income by the IRS?

No, not if you gave the client receipts and that is what the client reimbursed you for. 

You would simply not report those costs as expenses since they were reimbursed. 

It would not be income for you and you also would not deduct (claim) any expenses relating to those items.
