Question

I lost my job, can I deduct miles driven for interviewing and overnight stay? All jobs are the same position as the one I lost.

I had to fly for one of the jobs, and another I had a phone screening with China.

No. Unfortunately, these expenses are not deductible on your 2018 federal return due to Tax Reform that suspended Miscellaneous Itemized Deductions for the tax years 2018 through 2025.  Some states still allow these deductions, however.
