Thanks for the response. Its doesn't seem all that fair that the IRS does not allow me to claim for mileage to and from my residence - that's my only real expense. So far, I've kept a diary of the addresses and times of client appointments so I can easily calculate mileage to and from clients.
There is a spare room in the house that I may be able to dedicate to my tutoring prep. I don't really care about deducting $$ for the home office, but it may be worth it if it allows me to deduct mileage to and from my house? However, if doing so sets off any type of flag for the IRS, I'll just leave things as is!
