You are correct. You have to split the mileage. You cannot put all of the mileage under the business.
- For the time you were an independent contractor, you can deduct the mileage on your Schedule C.
- Unfortunately, employees can no longer deduct work-related mileage in tax years 2018 through 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017. Prior to the tax law change, employees could deduct mileage for commuting between multiple job sites during the same day, as well as commutes to temporary work locations and offsite business meetings.
