question on Jury Duty Mileage

No turbo tax software out yet, no live assist signup yet. I have a question, heading for Jury Duty soon, and I do a mileage calculation, percent business based on  full usage mileage. Jury Duty is 110 miles per day, pretty far, so for actual expense mileage, can I count that trip from my home office to Jury Duty as Business miles?????

The is no deduction for jury duty and any jury payment must be included in taxable income.

Jury duty is not a business. The mileage to and from jury duty is not business mileage. Running a business from your home does not make jury duty a business activity.
