I'm an independent contractor who drives cars from point A to point B for a transport company. Can I deduct the cost of going from my home to the pick up point, whether it's gas in my car, Uber, bus, air, etc.? The pick up point could be five miles from home, or it could be 1,000 miles from home. Same question for going from the delivery location back home.
A lot of information about this on the internet talks about "driving from a home office" to determine deductibilty. I do not have a home office, I don't think. I simply have a PC from which I access the company's data base to find drives. I use the computer, desk, etc. mostly for personal things. Thanks.
