Can you clarify if this is for self-employed income or W2 income? It should ask how many total miles for the period of the first 6 months, then the last six months in accordance with IRS guidelines for 2022. Your total miles should be greater than your miles driven for business purposes, unless you use this car 100% for business use if self employed or own a business, it must be equal to total miles and miles for those two periods of time. For example I drove 5000 total miles. 2000 were the first part of year and 3000 were for the second part of year, my car is used only for business. Remember to enter your personal miles.
Keep in mind:
Commuting miles are the miles you drive to and from your regular place of employment. They are a personal expense and are 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.
If you are an employee, your regular place of employment is an established office of a company where you work as either a permanent or temporary employee. You cannot deduct mileage even if you work in the car while commuting to your regular place of employment.
You can deduct:
- Travel between two or more workplaces in the same day (even if it's for the same employer)
- Travel between your home and a temporary work location inside your metropolitan work area (if you have no regular place of business)
- Travel between your home and a temporary work location inside or outside of your metropolitan work area - generally for projects that last only a few days or weeks - if you have one or more regular places of business.
