Generally,
commuting is travel between your home and a work location. Commuting miles
are a personal expense and are not deductible.
Business miles are incurred when you go from one workplace to another workplace and are a deductible expense.
As an example:
- In a typical work day as a sales rep, you go from your home to your office. - These are commuting miles.
- From your office, you travel to Client A, then to Client B, etc. All of this mileage is considered business miles.
- From your last client you go home. This, again, is commuting mileage and not deductible.
If you are self-employed and your office is located in your home, you
can deduct miles you travel to meet with business clients or perform other business-related functions.
If your office is located away from your home, you
cannot deduct miles you travel to go to your office.
