Deductions & credits

@Hal_Al Agreed it is unusual for a substitute teacher to be an independent contractor and receive a 1099Misc but I have seen it happen with small private schools, for example, that are not part of a larger school district.  Of course, if there is one school, then there would be no need to drive between locations during the school day.  There are scenarios where a sub might need to travel from one school to another for mornings, afternoons, etc.  that would  be an example of something the OP could use mileage for on a schedule C.  But not commuting from home to school or back home, as he/she may have been led to believe.
