Deductions & credits

You cannot take a federal deduction for mileage as an employee.  Mileage deductions are only available for self-employed individuals not employees.  Also, commuting miles are never deductible.  Driving to and from work would be commuting and not deductible whether employee or self-employed. 

 

Since they are commuting miles, they are not likely to be deductible by your state either, however, state laws all vary.  Which state do you live in?
