Q. So on the days that I don't go into my W-2 job and only go to my self employed job I wouldn't be able to deduct that 22 miles (round trip)?
A. That's correct
Q. And on the one occasion that I did first go to my self employed and then to my W-2 job I would be able to deduct the 18 miles I traveled from my self employed job to my W-2 job?
A. That's also correct. The first 11 miles to the self employed job and the 25 miles back home are not deductible. You can deduct the 18 miles even though it is "from" rather than "to" the self employed job.
