I was laid off by my employer, but asked to go back to work for them as a contractor. I set myself up as a sole proprietor and am paid as a 1099 employee. As such, can I deduct the mileage between my home and my former employer now that I work for them as a contractor, not an employee. When I was reading some of the help screens for this topic, the term employee was used, and I am not an employee of my former employer. I am now a contractor.
