I live in Washington state and work in California - so I travel between my home and my tax home. (Not sure of the nuances of travelling from or to one or the other.)
My reading of the IRS tax code on the issue is that travel expenses can only be claimed if you travel To/From your Tax Home to conduct work somewhere else. Whereas the travel expenses To/From where you live and your Tax Home cannot be claimed.
Happy (and hoping) to stand corrected!
