I just got a contract position that requires me to re-locate 2,000 miles for a temporary (11 month) position. I will need my car while I am down there, for both business and personal reasons. Can I deduct the mileage I will put on my car on the way down there (and maybe the way back) from my taxes if I document it accurately? Additionally, as it is such a long drive, I will be taking it over the course of several days, so I will need to pay for a few hotel rooms/meals/etc. Can I deduct these expenses as well? Thanks!
