I get 1099-MISC as nonemployee contribution (line 7). I work at employer's office. Can I deduct commuting expenses?What about internet working from home?

I get a 1099-MISc. In line 7 it says nonemployee compensation. I go everyday to my employer's office? Can I deduct my mileage? Also what about internet and anything else when some days I work from home?

Commuting expenses would not be deductible.You may be able to claim the home office deduction if your office is:

• Used regularly and exclusively for your business, and
• Is your principal place of business (both conditions must apply).
