Deductions & credits

You can deduct your business miles only. Commuting miles are not deductible.

Commuting miles are defined by the IRS as the mileage between your home and your regular work place and back.

If you do not have a regular work place, then the mileage between your home and your first work location inside the same metropolitan area is considered commuting miles. If the first work location is outside your metropolitan area, then the mileage from home is deductible. Mileage between work locations during the day is deductible.

You will need to keep an accurate log of your mileage.
