W-2 employee with a Side business: Is Turbotax asking for Commute mileage for W-2 employer or to my side business site?
I am a W-2 employee (home IV/infusion nurse) who job requires me to travel to patients’ homes. I go directly from my home to theirs. I do not have a regular work office at my hospital. But I also have a part-time side gig (self-employed) dog-sitting and house-sitting. I don’t have an office for this side gig either. TurboTax is asking me about the commute miles to and from my “office.” It also is asking me for my annual total miles. Are those commute miles referring to and from the homes of my nursing patients or to the homes of my dog-sitting clients? I assume the lattee (dog-/house-sitting only). Because I know that I cannot deduct commute miles to or from either place, and only from the latter dog-/house-sitting if I do errands for that side gig).
