Question

Can I claim a travel deduction for working in one state, and living in another while working PRN about 4 hours away?

My husband is in the military and we claim SC as our home state, but own a house in NC.  I changed my job in SC to PRN at a hospital and now travel about 4 hours each way multiple times a month for work.  Can I claim a mileage travel for work credit in this situation? If so, how would I go about that? Thank you!

Do you have W-2 or 1099-Misc?

Yes, if you travel to and from a temporary work location (where your assignment is expected to last no more than one year) outside your metropolitan area, you can claim commuting expenses.
Can I deduct commuting expenses like gas, mileage, or toll fees? https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3300445
